Cloud Cafe announces debut album "Gift Horse", out 6 September

With an instant indie hit, "Perfection Salad," Cloud Cafe kicks off the campaign for their debut album, "Gift Horse," which will be released in early September. The single is a 'coming of age' song. Frontwoman Tara Wilts wrote the song. 'It's about the high expectations you and others have for yourself and trying until you drop.'

Anyway, "Perfection Salad" is on "Gift Horse."

"Gift Horse" is the most personal work Cloud Cafe has ever made. And that's how a debut album should be. Brutally honest. All or nothing.

Cloud Cafe masters the art of merging both the grand, all-encompassing and the small, introspective gesture. Of beauty and solace. Cloud Cafe shows what makes life worth living.

Cloud Cafe? Yes. Tara, Tom, Dirck, and David. An indie band that overwhelms with vulnerable lyrics and a wall of sound. "A singer-songwriter take on shoegaze." No friction, no shine. In search of contrast. An uncompromising account of a human life. Wearing their hearts on their sleeves, so to speak. Folk and fuzz, chaos and calm. With "Gift Horse," Cloud Cafe has struck gold.

"Gift Horse" will be released on Friday, September 6, via Excelsior Recordings. Cloud Cafe will then go on tour. The album is already available for pre-order on transparent vinyl.
