Everyone Around Here Looks Angry

Shivers

Born from serendipitous chance encounters, and shared passions, Long White Clouds emerged onto the indie rock scene in 2009. The band's name, inspired by the Māori name for New Zealand, Aotearoa, meaning "The Land of the Long White Cloud," reflects the diverse origins and the blending of cultures within the group. The four-piece band is composed of Andrew James Burch, the lead vocalist and guitarist hailing from Napier (New Zealand), Nicola Lazzaroni and Matteo Pansa, childhood friends from Bergamo (Italy), on guitar and bass/backing vocals respectively, and Mike Ehlert on drums, who joined the ranks from Minnesota (USA) in 2022, bringing a fresh dynamic to the band's rhythm section.
Fueled by late-night jam sessions and boundless creativity, Long White Clouds quickly found their groove, blending infectious melodies with electronic experimentation. Their music, characterized by heartfelt lyrics, compelling melodies, and robust rhythms, embodies the spirit of indie rock while also infusing it with their unique perspectives and experiences. 
In 2020, they released the EP "Everyone around here looks angry," a 4-track treat that includes "1+1=1", "Shane says", "Dreaming about you" and "Shivers". The songs capture a range of emotions, from introspection to defiance, embodying the band's ability to navigate complex emotional territories with ease and authenticity.
The upcoming, much awaited LP "Aeroplanes", recorded during two sessions in 2023 with producers Riccardo Zamboni and Federico Laini and set for release in 2024 under the label Edonè Dischi, promises to be a significant milestone in their career, offering a more refined and expansive exploration of their sound. "Aeroplanes" not only marks the culmination of years of growth and experimentation but also a new beginning for Long White Clouds as they embark into the skies on new musical journeys.
