Tyler’s primed for the end Greg is left outside Danny’s thinking back How we’d laugh all the time and the weight of it all turned me into a rock now i’m colder than colder and I don’t wanna talk Nervous oh for the end Kim is good for the now Brandon wants to grow but his heart won’t allow and the length of your life did it ever feel right? now i’m older than ever and holding on to life

Told you I was vying for to be unafraid then you want to dance away do you want all your friends to know that you’re alive? and your head is full of lies can’t avoid the nothingness saw it in a child’s eyes then my arms were buzzing with wild flies

about

The third single from Cloud's 'Plays with Fire' LP featuring a gorgeous non-album b-side.

If you missed the "Plays with Fire" LP then it's available now on vinyl and digital on Audio Antihero Records - musicbycloud.bandcamp.com/album/plays-with-fire

Press for "Plays with Fire":

“The brevity of the album, condensed from several years’ work, actually renders it utterly enigmatic, like a lifetime reduced to a random clutch of snapshots. On Plays With Fire, however, Taormina’s songs are blistered but precious polaroids, glue barely holding them on to the pages of a family album.” – Gold Flake Paint

“A gorgeous tour de force.” – Indie Shuffle

“Cloud’s third album ‘Plays with Fire’ is a spiritual journey through intimate darkness, a poignant and beautiful experience of vulnerability and solitude.” – Atwood Magazine

“There are certain records which manage to replicate, musically, serotonin release. Then there are records that contextualise this physical rush within the throws of human experience: friendship, love, memory and the swathes of melancholy that embrace our lives like a sleep. (Plays with Fire) falls dreamily into the latter category.” – London in Stereo

“Keenly characteristic of the current season…begins with the picturesque opaqueness of its predecessor, but quickly blows over into a sunny spring morning, exposing a field’s worth of indie-pop blossoms that teem with vibrant colors and exuberant lifeforms. There’s not a cloud in sight.” – The Alternative

“A madcap romp through far-flung styles and psych-addled planes of existence.” – The Line of Best Fit

“Cloud has been, and always will be, a project about navigating conflicting, hefty emotions, and this process just can’t be done without the help of close friends. “Two Hands Bound” brings four friends into the fold as Taormina explores the burnout that can accompany overworking oneself, but it doesn’t sound labored-over at all; instead, it’s about as effortless as psychedelic music gets.” – POST-TRASH

“Tyler Taormina & friends work their music machines of endless wonder…” – IMPOSE

“Blissful unease defines Cloud. On Plays with Fire, much of the lyrics are somehow simultaneously hopeful and pessimistic, with our narrator hanging out with friends while feeling antisocial or seeking love when he has none to give.” – The 405

“…by funneling this through the prism of lush-but-lo-fi pop, the melancholy is at once accentuated and transcended, the often soaring instrumentation lifting what would otherwise be morose thoughts and consuming worries into something almost otherworldly.” – Various Small Flames
