Some Things You Don't Know About Me

Goddamn

Listen to "Killers of the Early Morning" here: https://band.link/bethannmcdowellkotem

Over the course of several months last summer, Beth Ann McDowell made a conscious decision to return to her roots in complex, rich lyrics, and giving more depth to her songwriting as she began to work on her album, “The Sim Is Real.”  The single is produced by R. Walt Vincent who has worked with some of indie’s greatest: Liz Phair, Pete Yorn, and Scarlett Johansson to name a few.  In tune with that came the natural gravitation toward recording an album in an organic way, with session musicians in a recording that captured the spirit of the moment all at once. Her first single off of the album, “Killers Of The Early Morning”, captures the sort of eerie dream-like vibe that permeates through the entire record.  With unquestionably dark lyrics, the song recollects the common experience most of us have lived: giving all that we have to give, and it is still not enough.

Lyrics

Come one, come all
Take a glimpse, tag along
Follow the light that is shining in
And I'll be your guide
Deliver truths I'd rather hide
With innocent warmth of a messenger
And if you get lost
No matter the cost
Follow the light to the entryway
Drop in now and then
If you could use a friend
I know I can spare the energy

Away...
Away from home
Your comfort zone
Look toward the light that is shining in
If you need a guide
Spilling truths they'd rather hide
Step out of harm's way with this messenger
And if you get lost
No matter the cost
Follow the light to the entryway
Drop in now and then
If you could use a friend
I know I can spare the energy

PRESS RELEASE
++++++++++++

‘Dreams About’ is the third single from London / Leeds based Cloud Studies, and the first release with new member Kirstin Isolde Lavender on vocals.

For Fans of: Dummy, Deerhunter, Alvvays, Beachwood Sparks, The Cure, Pulp, shoegaze and dreampop.

With an instrumental introduction lasting over a minute, Cloud Studies are not a band to be rushed, nor are they willing to pander to streaming algorithms on their latest single ‘Dreams About.’ 

Although until now the band have described themselves as ‘gothgaze’, this new track leans towards the brightest, breeziest end of the genre. ‘Dreams About’ is Cloud Studies at their most uplifting; shimmering guitars with melodic arpeggios that throw-back to classic periods of indiepop, layers of lush reverb and bright harmonies, propelled by an insistent driving beat.

The band’s darker aspects are found in Adam Cresswell’s lyrics.  ‘Dreams About’ is a song about escaping the drudgery and loneliness of the daily grind by dreaming of unrequited lovers, while dropping prescription drugs to numb the pain.

Cloud Studies formed in 2024, as a means for Adam Cresswell and Martin J Langthorne to explore the sonic possibilities offered by the large arsenal of effects pedals that they had acquired.  Their debut ‘Ghosts’ was released to acclaim for Halloween 2024. It immediately won the band devoted fans and received rave reviews. ‘Ghosts’ also resonated on social media, not least on TikTok and Instagram where it quickly hit a million views on release. Their follow-up single ‘Cloud Cartography’ won them new fans, with a Spotlight feature from leading industry service The Unsigned Guide who described the track as a “deliciously dark shoegaze affair”. 


Cloud Studies are: Adam Cresswell, Vocals, Bass; Martin J Langthorne, Guitars; Kirstin Isolde Lavender, Vocals; Adrian Taylor, Guitars.

Recorded at Old Chapel (Leeds), Nan’s House Studio (Liverpool), Bellasonic Sounds (London). Drums by Nat Guest. Written and produced by Adam Cresswell. Mastered by Toby Campen Mastering. Design by Martin J Langthorne
