about

Shadow of a Cloud is about the forces that move the world: coincidence, time, choices, truth, love. In many ways it is an acceptance that change is the only constant. The title is a direct reference to Joseph Campbell’s Power of Myth, when Campbell recounts a letter written by a heroic Native American chief who acknowledges native culture and memories are to become merely a shadow of a cloud.

The band wrote the feels over a two month period after extended time apart due to the initial Covid lockdown. The following summer, the band hauled gear to Gol-Wop, Frey’s and Wolfe’s family cabin in the Northwoods of Minnesota, for an immersive recording experience. The music is straight-ahead rock, with alternative, psychedelic, and ambient elements. The album conjures David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas and Impressionist art.
