CLOUDBELLY - THROWING THE GAME - BARN ATTIC

Cloudbelly, the acclaimed New England indie-folk band, release their sophomore album, Throwing The Game, available now on all major platforms.

Throwing The Game is a sprawling indie-folk meditation on intimacy, belonging, and the things that complicate them. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Julia Jacklin, Wilco, The Dirty Projectors, and RAM-era Paul McCartney, the album places Laitman’s vivid lyricism inside a chameleonic sonic landscape as the narrative shifts between past and present, mapping the ways old wounds tend to echo forward and haunt the present. Advanced singles from the record have earned praise from outlets like Under The Radar, Atwood, Glide, mp3Hugger, and charted in the Top 25 of the NACC Singles Chart.

Throwing The Game was produced and recorded by Nate Mondschein at Echo Base Production, mixed by Andrew Oedel at Ghost Hit Recording, and mastered by Brian Lucey at Magic Garden Mastering. It features additional contributions from Reed Sutherland (keys/bass/upright bass), Cynthia Tolson (violin/viola), and Matthew Thornton (cello).
