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

Hauntology, post-rock and electronica collide in a mesmerizing reimagining of Rodney Cromwell's album title track 'Memory Box.'

FOR FANS OF: Broadcast, Pram, Stereolab, Kraftwerk, Advisory Circle, Movietone, Mogwai

'Memory Box' delves into the complexities of perception and the unreliability of our memories. How can we trust anything in a world where truth and honesty hold such little value? This hauntingly psychedelic song draws inspiration not only from the lucid dreamlike qualities of Marcel Proust and Enid Blyton's 'Faraway Tree' stories, but also from sonic pioneers like Broadcast, Movietone and Silver Apples.

Solemn Arcade embarks on a complete deconstruction of the original, presenting a recontextualized version of 'Memory Box.' Stripping away the vocals and immersing the song within a lo-fi and discordant sonic landscape that an all new interpretation. The listener is enveloped in a tapestry of atmospheric textures and electronic tones, as haunting synthesizers intertwine with reverberating guitars, creating an otherworldly soundscape that shimmers and evolves with each play.

This is the debut release by Solemn Arcade, the musical guise of graphic designer and Happy Robots associate MJ Langthorne

Memory Box (Solemn Arcade Revision)

RODNEY CROMWELL | SOLEMN ARCADE 'Memory Box - Solemn Arcade Revision'

‘Ghosts’ is the debut single from South / East London band Cloud Studies.

For Fans of: The Cure, Beach Fossils, Cool Heat, Beach House, Black Marble, Galaxie 500

With plaintive vocals, a neo-krautock beat, layers of spacious reverb-drenched guitars, and a floating atmosphere that is perfect for spooky season, it is not quite shoegaze and it’s not quite goth. Apparently Gothgaze is a thing now, so let’s call it that.  

Despite being influenced initially by the Usbourne book, ‘World of the Unknown: Ghosts’, a vintage cult classic filled with screaming skulls, phantom ships and demon dogs, the lyrics tells a more human story. After the loss of a loved one, the protagonist is haunted by their memory and each night in his dreams he is visited by their apparition which dances and serenades him.

Cloud Studies was formed in 2024 and comprises of Adam Cresswell (of Saloon & Rodney Cromwell), graphic designer Martin J Langthorne on guitar and drummer Nat Guest.

‘Ghosts’ is released by Happy Robots on 18th October. The band play their debut show in London at The Castle in Whitechapel on 19th October with The Leaf Library. 

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

Produced by Adam Cresswell. Mix consultant: Richard Bennett. Mastered by Toby Campen

The first time I had the idea to remix this outstanding song was in 2002. But my studio skills and musical abilities at that time were a long way from mastering this challenge. 2011 I made the first attempt of a reconstruction and new interpretation of „A Forest“. While I did it, I had to realize that the original tempo is astonishing 159 BPM. Fast enough for a proper Drum and Bass edit. Would the tune work much slower? I would say it does. Now this is the second attempt another 14 years later…

The second single from South / East London band Cloud Studies. It's the follow-up to their debut 2024 single ‘Ghosts’.

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).
