Half-handed Cloud

I’ve been a fan of Half-handed Cloud for a long time now. I guess I’ve been a fan ever since he signed up with Asthmatic Kitty {aka Sufjan Steven’s brainchild/label}. Now this little love affair of mine hasn’t ever matured into a full blown fling, but that might be because most of John Ringhofer’s music seems to be carved up into idiosyncratic, almost childish, mashed up melodies. They flit from idea to idea as quickly as a group of five year olds change the rules of tag on the playground and that’s inherently what’s to love about his music. There is something precocious and innocent about these ultimately playful melodies and arrangements. I just don’t know how long I could listen to only Half-handed Cloud before I found myself a bit wanting for more adult conversation.

For the one hundredth post here on The World Forgot we’re featuring an artist that, like this post about him, keeps his artistic endeavors surprisingly short yet refreshingly intricate. He writes about abstract ideas, awkward moments, and the glories found in all thins normal. And he pulls it off with a silly sense of seriousness that leaves you wanting more, and more, and more at the end of each song.
