London duo Cloud Boat release 'Youthern'/ 'Hammerspace', the new single on Apollo Records on May 20.
With their previous double A-side 'Wanderlust'/'Drean' and last year’s teaser track 'I Left For A Reason (It Escapes Me Now)' earning them plaudits from the likes of Pitchfork, Dummy, The Line of Best Fit and The Fader, Cloud Boat are slowly but surely carving out a distinctive path for themselves as purveyors of gorgeous, shattered-heart soul bar none. This new double A-side single continues that journey, combining majestic, choral soundscapes with alluring, fractured beats to devastating effect, and is taken from their forthcoming album, 'Book of Hours'.
Cloud Boat have also been making rare live outings this year, pulling in captivated audiences in London, Manchester and Birmingham with their compellingly unique strain of electronica. There will be another chance to see the band in all their enthralling glory come May, when they play a special show at the Lexington with their equally ascendant labelmate Nadine Shah.
