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

What Am I Becoming?

Get The Album

KNIGHTLIFE - VII out now on 12" Vinyl and digital via Cutters.

Since first emerging from Melbourne's smoke-machine laden dance floors of the late '00s, Mike Gamwell's penchant for forward-thinking electronica paired with meticulous production has entrenched him in the consciousness of avid dance music enthusiasts and casual listeners alike. 

Having signed to Cutters Records, Gamwell released a string of EPs and high-profile remixes that succintly encapsulated the sights and sounds of the ever-evolving electronic landscape.

After a three year hibernation following 2011's I Want You EP, Gamwell finally returned to the fold with his Tangerine Dream-inspired cut Don't Stop opening Cut Copy's Oceans Apartcompilation, a collection of Australia's foremost producers in which he featured alongside fellow Melbourne dance royalty Tornado Wallace, Andras Fox and Roland Tings. Don't Stop was then released as an EP in early 2015, which also featured a cosmic rinse of the title track by Running Back and Rush Hour's disco don Suzanne Kraft alongside an original acidic number titled Interstate 08.

Having since relocated to Bath in the UK, supporting Cut Copy DJs on their recent tour of the USA and headlining Cooper Saver’s decadent Far Away party in Los Angeles, Gamwell is set to round out 2015 with the release of his four-track EP VII. A refinement of the hedonistic sounds from his previous releases, this record reveals a concoction of house, acid and slow-burning balearic rhythm structures, stripping back the layers and re emerging from the haze.

Knightlife - Solstice

Production by Ben Fitzgerald (Stubborn Heart), this tune is another example of Christa’s pop sensibilities. ‘Give & Take’ is a snappy synth-driven ditty with a trademark bouncy chorus, disguising decidedly melancholic lyrics documenting a relationship tug-of-war.
