Cloud Factory — Paradise Lost
Released from Ullapool, UK
Dream Pop / Indie / Post-Rock / Shoegaze
From the windswept coastlines of the Scottish Highlands, Cloud Factory unveil Paradise Lost — a four-track release that drapes dream pop melodies over the expansive textures of post-rock and the haze of shoegaze. It’s a sound that feels both intimate and panoramic, carrying the listener from the dim glow of a bedroom lamp to the vast, open sky.
The songs shimmer with layered guitars that swell and recede like distant tides, while the rhythm section provides a steady undercurrent, anchoring the music’s drifting atmospheres. Vocals arrive like half-remembered dreams — soft, emotive, and wrapped in reverb — adding to the EP’s immersive quality.
Paradise Lost captures the essence of Cloud Factory’s northern roots: beauty tinged with melancholy, wide-open space touched by moments of quiet intensity. It’s the kind of record that doesn’t just play — it unfolds, revealing new shades and subtleties with each listen.
For fans of soundscapes that balance fragility with grandeur, this EP is a compelling chapter in the band’s evolving story.
