(Yoni Wolf) and Odd Nosdam (David Madson).
The group's name came from a nonsensical knock-knock joke Drucker's sister told him when she was five years old.
Style
Clouddead's sound is notoriously hard to define, and although it is undoubtedly grounded in "traditional" hip-hop, influences as varied as ambient, electronica, psychedelic music, and indie rock can be heard.
