Cloud Archive - How to Smoke Roses

And here I thought my Bay Area home was a wasteland when it came to strong instrumental acts. I find Cloud Archive, and just as quickly I leave in a month. It's that rare mix of ethereal and epic qualities that absolutely draws me in like a tremendous undertow. The last half of this song will hopefully leave you just as gutted and breathless as it does me.
