I don’t wanna be your boyfriend anymore
I don’t wanna be your girlfriend anymore
I don’t need to know that my hair looks like a boy
I don’t need to know that my hair looks like a boy

I don’t wanna blame a cellphone anymore
I don’t wanna beat myself up anymore
I don’t need to know that my hair looks like a boy
I don’t need to know that my hair looks like a boy

Hang on
You said I suck
I know I don’t

I don’t wanna blame a cellphone anymore
I don’t wanna have a cellphone anymore
I don’t need to know that my hair looks like a boy
I don’t need to know that my hair looks like a boy

Baby don’t on my cellphone anymore
I don’t know her cellphone anymore
I don’t need to know that my hair looks like a boy
I don’t need to know that my hair looks like a boy

I said I want it
Incinerate it
I know you won’t

Say you wanna be here?
Everybody needs you
Everybody needs you

So everybody needs you
Everybody needs you
And you know you gotta be
Everybody needs you

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
