Press:
“Airing out his demons through caustic, self-loathing lyrics and homemade homages to one of the most influential auteurs of the early 21st century…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
"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
"Great!" - Eric Lawrence (KCRW)
"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
"I love this." - Simon Raymonde (Bella Union / Cocteau Twins
Rock)
"Deserves to be a huge indie hit." - Yankie 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
