Head In The Clouds (EP)

Head In The Clouds  is the unreleased first ep Jesse and G-Rome released online on January 27, 2012. But in May '12,  they took the songs off and the two music videos as well. It is now considered unreleased.

Background & Reception
The ep was posted onto Reverbnation, which is similar to Soundcloud. The songs reached 716 plays and it was avaliable for download via 4shared. The whole ep was produced by one producer, Manh Van Nguyen. "It was a wrong representation of who we were and it did poorly," said Jesse Alfred about taking it off everywhere and making it disappear. Fans appeared to enjoy the rough sounding music, very unpolished and un-pop. It was more k-pop than anything. And it was also the first time Jesse and G-Rome had written and recorded their songs. They wrote and recorded the songs in less than one month, and then released it. It was very raw, but it was the first time people heard who they were. "Dreaming of You" was the stand-out track of the ep, it recieved the most praise. After deleting the ep, Jesse and G-Rome announced that they would release their new single "Born To Kill", and it did sound very different from Head In The Clouds - it was 10x better. Born To Kill is their first single, and The American Dream is their first ep. Head In The Clouds is now considered unreleased.

Music Videos
Two music videos were released for the two singles "Head In The Clouds" and "Dreaming of You". Both videos were praised for their scenery.


 * The "Head In The Clouds" 4 minute and 58 second video was released February 13, 2012 at 8:18pm via their official youtube channel. In May '12 it was locked private reaching a total of 533 views. The video was shot and directed by Jesse and G-Rome. The storyline was that Jesse slept with G-Rome, G-Rome left then and Jesse searched for him in the city, in a desert/volcanic area, and then found him in the end. They wore their signature leather jackets. It was quite a work.
 * The "Dreaming of You" 4 minutes video was released on April 6, 2012 at 11:04pm. It was locked private in September '12 and reached a total of 293 views. The video was again shot by Jesse and G-Rome. This video was also praised for it's rich cinematography and location. It started black-n-white with Jesse seductively getting undressed for a bath and smoking a cigarette, he then goes in the water and comes out in a river. The same for G-Rome, lying in a bed then wakes up on a snowy forest floor. The video was shot at the Jemez Mountains. Throughout the whole video you can see snow, and it was very beautiful and scenic. It also had a clip of two unicorns going through the forest. It stayed online during the release of "Born To Kill", and "Bad Bad Boy". It was considered a step-up of the previous video.

Artwork
The cover was an image found online. It did not show Jesse and G-Rome's face only their name & titles.
