With your head in a Cloud and
a Hymn in your heart

A locally brewed, independent record label recently made its newest addition to an already strong roster that includes The Daredevil Christohper Wright, Meridene and The Gentle Guest, among others. Milwaukee native John Nielson signed his Herby Hancock on a deal to release his first solo album under the Cloud Hymn moniker on March 3 through Amble Down Records. Nielson wrote the eleven songs that make up “A Seed Buried in the Ground,” over the past few years while attending UWEC, and recorded them in a home studio last June. The album is an introspective and organic blend of acoustic instruments and Nielson's crisp, sincere vocals that fans of slow, folky indie-pop, autumn leaves, Jose Gonzalez, and general moping will be sure to enjoy.
