Cloudtone endeavor to craft boundary-pushing but accessible art rock with a polyrhythmic spin. Veronica, Sam, Jordan, and Hank met as students at the University of Chicago, and each brings a unique repertoire of musical skills and influences ranging from country and bluegrass to math rock. Together, they craft danceable songs driven by complex percussive composition, groovy baselines, and jazzy guitar awash with synthesized harmonies. The band roots their compositional ideology in a post-climate crisis perspective and challenges themselves and their listeners to reorient their perspectives through genre mixing and a dash of nonsense.
