Origin: UK
Genres: Dream pop, Indie rock, Shoegaze
With Another One Making Clouds, Liverpool-based duo Everything Else deliver a debut that feels like a secret whispered from the heart of adolescence. Long-time friends since the age of six, the two musicians began writing and recording this record at just nineteen — capturing that rare, unfiltered energy that can only exist when you're chasing down big emotions in a small room.
The result is a 35-minute journey that swells, crackles, and glows with wide-eyed ambition. Guitars shimmer and distort, drums pulse with ghostlike urgency, and vocals drift through layers of reverb like flickers of memory. It’s psychedelic, shoegaze-inflected indie rock at its most intimate — dreamlike yet grounded, vulnerable yet audacious.
There’s no gloss, no studio polish, no adult interference. Another One Making Clouds exists just as it was made: raw, restless, and emotionally true. You can hear the walls of the bedroom studio in the sound, feel the late-night quiet of young minds reaching for something bigger. This is music made from instinct, from urgency — from that deep, ineffable space where confusion and wonder coexist.
In spirit, Everything Else evoke the haunted introspection of The Cure, the ecstatic bleakness of The Jesus and Mary Chain, and the celestial fuzz of Flying Saucer Attack — but this isn’t pastiche. It’s a continuation of a lineage. A youth-born expression of British soul in all its distorted, melancholic beauty.
Another One Making Clouds is more than a debut. It’s an emotional document — a shoegaze hymn to not knowing who you are, but trying anyway. An echo of growing pains, sonic catharsis for those moments when nothing makes sense, but the music still does.
