The second single taken from Cloud's incredible "Comfort Songs" album, backed by an older superhit. Released largely because Tyler wanted to make some more cover art and also because I'm crazy fame hungry.

Recorded at 21 years of age by NY (via Boston via LA) Tyler Taormina's Cloud collective, “Comfort Songs” is an ambitious and enthralling LP which is drunk on optimism and deep in regret; sonically vast and heavily percussive. The album kicks off with "Cars & It's Autumn," gorgeously layered with rich piano, gang vocals, trumpet, trombone, piercing guitars, violin and fog thick atmosphere.

Press:
"Astoundingly accomplished." - Pitchfork

"Cloud know their way around a pop song, and for all of the album's off-beat charms, and occasionally hard-to-grasp content, it's a true pop heart which can be found at the centre of every song that helps to make this such a rewarding listen - 8/10." - Drowned In Sound

"A great record." - Tom Ravenscroft (BBC 6 Music)

"Emerging 21 year old singer/producer Cloud forges a rich, heartening sound around a passionate vocal, dressing his narratives in shimmering instrumentation, like Conor Oberst in the throes of an obsession with psychedelia." - Rough Trade & The Guardian

"Immediately one of my favourite albums of the year." - Sonic Reverie

"Comfort Songs holds a strong claim as one of best albums under the ill-defined umbrella of 'indie-rock' that has been released in the last decade or so - 10/10." - Contact Music

"In Comfort Songs I find a time for reflection, a confirmation of life and its wonder, and a sense of belonging – to whom, I’m not certain, but to someone. And I know, years down the road, this will remain a landmark album for me, with just the same resonant power. Hopefully, dear reader, you’ll be moved, too." - GoldFlakePaint
