So Loud for a Leaf

Combining a passion for melodic psych and darkwave, Red Telephone’s 2023 debut album ‘Hollowing Out’ was described by Clash Music as “Gritty, brilliantly dark and expansive. A deliciously dark, mesmerising and a dystopian-tinged sonic palette that could have been heard in Bowie’s Berlin in the late 1970’s. An impressive and masterful debut.” 

Hailing from Cardiff, the multi-instrumentalists with two sets of brothers in their ranks released their first two singles as a double A-side vinyl on Welsh cult label Popty-Ping and have been championed by Huw Stephens & Steve Lamacq. The five-piece recently finished recording their second album, which is due for release in October 2024.

“Gritty, brilliantly dark and expansive. A deliciously dark, mesmerising and a dystopian-tinged sonic palette that could have been heard in Bowie’s Berlin in the late 1970’s. An impressive and masterful debut.” - Clash Music

“Very nicely layered. Has a bit of early 80s melodrama; a sort of Pet Shop Boys croon and a Krautrock halo.” – Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music

“They have the potential to soundtrack a generation.” – Drowned in Sound

“Something brilliantly dark about this, with their synth psych noir with a pulse. Real potential to go big.” - Chris Hawkins, BBC 6 Music

“With music as smart as their aesthetic, Cardiff’s Red Telephone are making neo-noir sounds that could have made it onto the ‘Drive’ soundtrack.” – Gigwise

PRESS RELEASE
============

For Fans of: Dreampop, Shoegaze, Slowdive, Film School, My  Bloody Valentine, The Cure, Stereolab, Beach House, DIIV

Cloud Studies formed in 2024, as means for Adam Cresswell and Martin J Langthorne to explore the sonic possibilities offered by the large arsenal of effects pedals they had acquired.

‘Cloud Cartography’ was the first song written by Adam for the band as a means to set the tone for the direction of their sonic explorations. It was inspired by visits to the Derryveagh Mountains of Donegal in Ireland, and fighting off the elements as sheets of rain beat down upon the mountainous landscape.

The song is about trying to make sense of a constantly changing world and our efforts to document and understand it.  In a library, the protagonist meets someone attempting to map and catalogue the clouds. They find themselves standing together on a mountainside battling the elements, their undaunted optimism constantly challenged by the impossible nature of their undertaking. 

Sonically the song presents a panoramic, full-spectrum wall of sound; dreamy synths, layers of reverb-drenched guitars from Adrian Taylor and Martin J Langthorne, ethereal vocals from Adam Cresswell, underpinned by a tight insistent rhythm from drummer Nat Guest.

Cloud Studies:
Adam Cresswell, Vocals, bass; Nat Guest, Drums; Martin J Langthorne, Guitars; Adrian Taylor, Guitars

Produced by Adam Cresswell.
Mastered by Toby Campen Mastering.
Recorded at Nan's House Studios (Liverpool) and Bellasonic Sounds (London).

Fading

It’s about that kind of love that spirals - consuming, impossible to quit. It’s the sound of wanting more even when it’s already too much. Perfect for those late summer nights ✨

Feel me
Just like you feel your heartbeat
On your wrists
Feel the hot blood pumping

Curious
Curious, your heart is
I might let you in
If I feel you're like me

And you crawl back to my arms and overdose

Crawl
Crawl yourself to my skin
Magnetised
To what you could not see

I'll make you fall
In so many ways
You could not imagine
I'll keep you entertained
Until nothing feels just like this

And you crawl back to my arms and overdose

It's so much faster
Feel it approaching
It's so much faster
I feel it coming
It's so much faster
I feel it coming
It's so much faster
I feel it coming

This feeling
This beating
Is harder
Than anything else

Will thicken
Will bubble
Erupt and cause trouble
We'll burst to fall

I'll watch it in rapture
An outstanding finding
And overcommitting
Cause it is so blinding
I'll try to capture
Euphoria and love
And I'm forgetting
That life is upsetting
That every beginning
Is start to an end
I will forget that we ever lived
I will forget that we ever lived
