Biography

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 and drummer Nat Guest.

Their debut single ‘Ghosts’ is 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. 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.

‘Ghosts’ was released by Happy Robots on 18th October and the band played their debut show in London at The Castle in Whitechapel on 19th October 2024 augmented by Adrian Taylor on guitar in support of The Leaf Library.
