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

CLOUD STUDIES: Dreams About

Cut The Line

Thieves

new song enjoy :> - everything prod me
shoutout the strokes
shoutout las ligas menores
shoutout humanendeavour


running out of time
starting to slide
makes me freeze in place
mentally decayed

I try to remember
what you said today
I just cannot face it all

oh maybe im just selfish
I can't see the line my dear
its crystal clear
yknow crossing it is all I fear girl

oh it feels like ur helpless
when I prefer to be alone
ignore my phone
cause any words will break my bones

I know better than this x2



break my bones
