CLØUDY SKIES

French atmospheric post metal duo CLØUDY SKIES return with a powerful new chapter, announcing a brand new album currently in the making alongside the release of their new single and video Depth Spell, out now via Argonauta Records.

Following their acclaimed 2023 debut Changes, Cløudy Skies continue to refine and expand their signature sound. Formed in 2019 on the outskirts of Paris, the duo composed of Lionel Forest and Nicolas Simon has established a distinctive identity within the modern post metal and dreamgaze landscape. Their music merges cinematic post rock dynamics, shoegaze textures, and post metal weight into immersive, slow burning compositions where tension and emotion coexist in constant transformation.

With Changes, Cløudy Skies introduced a sound defined by contrast and atmosphere, shifting between suspended calm and overwhelming intensity. The album marked the beginning of a clear artistic vision, built on emotional depth, sonic scale, and a carefully constructed balance between fragility and force.

Now, Depth Spell signals the next step in their evolution. The new single and accompanying video dive deeper into hypnotic layering and dense emotional atmospheres, expanding the band’s language into darker, more immersive territory while maintaining their signature sense of cinematic progression.

At the same time, Cløudy Skies confirm that a new album is currently in development. All details will be revealed in the coming months, ahead of a planned autumn release, marking a further expansion of their sound and vision.

The band comments:

“We’re genuinely happy to be working once again with Argonauta Records. This collaboration feels natural, like returning to a place where our music is truly understood and given the space it needs to breathe, mutate, and darken.

We pushed the work on composition and arrangement to an extreme. Every detail was questioned and reshaped. We focused on sound and texture, searching for the exact point where emotion becomes physical.

We do not write songs to fit a genre. We aim for that fragile zone where beauty and threat become the same movement. If it feels like floating and sinking at the same time, then it is doing what it was meant to do.”

Depth Spell is available now, marking the beginning of a new phase for Cløudy Skies as they continue to evolve their immersive and cinematic sonic universe.
