Cloud Studies

From South / East London, Cloud Studies was formed in 2024 and comprises of Adam Cresswell (of Saloon & Rodney Cromwell), graphic designer Martin J Langthorne on guitar, Adrian Taylor on guitar and Nat Guest on drums. The catalyst for their forming was that Adam and Martin needed something to do with the vast array of effects pedals that had amassed. ​

​

Their debut single ‘Ghosts’ was one for fans of The Cure, Beach Fossils, Cool Heat, Beach House or Galaxie 500. With airy, 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. We call it gothgaze. ‘Ghosts’ was released by Happy Robots on 18th October '24 and the band played their debut sold out show the following night. The song, timed to release just before halloween, was incredibly well received quickly reaching 10,000 streams on Spotify and has now been viewed over 1 million times on TikTok and Instagram reels.

The follow-up single 'Cloud Cartography' was released on 14th March. It premiered on the WhiteLight // White Heat blog who described it as 'a boundless cathartic melancholy'.

​

The band are now seeking bookings for UK and EU shows.​​​​​​
