Cloudchord's Colorful Surf Crusade

On May 29, 2024, Cloudchord was mysteriously sent back 60 years in a time, to a music studio in 1964. 

He found a cryptic letter that read “Rock songs from the future are the key, make them surf to set you free."

 

These 17 vintage recordings were the keys to unlocking a doorway that would allow him to return to 2024. We are finally able to share the songs from his Crusade.

Bloom Bap

With Bloom Bap, Cloudchord has put forth his greatest and most impossibly lush collection of tunes to date. We see him crystallizing his characteristic style with rolling grooves and dense thickets of melody, cementing Cloudchord as an exciting voice in the soundful electronic landscape.

 

Featuring collaborations with Emancipator, Big Gigantic, Braxton Cook, ProbCause, Adam Deitch of Lettuce, and more, Bloom Bap projects tranquility but never quite sits still, always excitedly shifting its own structure as these 14 songs wind down fascinating paths—and you, the listener, are always along for the ride.

Nature's Voice
w/Jeff Pierre

Nature’s Voice is a five-song EP of poolside joy filled with tropical warmth, electric positivity, and hypnotizing music. 

​

From Derek: "One day, this guy saw a guitar video of mine. He hit me up...."can you send me that guitar lick?" A few weeks later he came back with a fully completed song. It blew me away. Thus began the journey of Nature's Voice. It's one of the most special and sacred things I've ever made."

Daybreak is a six-song Spaghetti Western fever dream, fueled by tumbleweed and mescal An EP largely guided by Cloudchord's lap steel guitar, resulting in an epic sand dune saga, a vision quest journey. As fellow producer Brock Berrigan proclaimed, this "sounds like the desert in audio form"

Citrus Fever Dream 

w/ Emancipator

'Citrus Fever Dream' is a true synergy between the Layering and Vibration Mastery of Emancipator, and the neo-soul/ chillhop instrumentalism of Cloudchord. The duo ended up getting psychedelic in Oregon one weekend, and Citrus fever Dream embodies those experiences they had.

CloudCovers

What happens when you take a quintessential pop song, and pass it through a guitar and a filter of pure neosoul? you get "Cloudcovers." 

​

Cover songs are somewhat overdone. So here's the twist: every single sound was made from electric guitars in his collection, a testament to Cloud's skill and spiritual love for the instrument. From the kick drum and snare sounds, to sound design and melodies, it all comes from a guitar!

Moonflower

w/ProbCause

From Cloudchord: As instrumental act, I seldom work w/ vocalists and rappers, but Covid life 2020 serendipitously gave me an unexpected joie de vivre for the vibration of these songs.  “The problem with the world is people’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.”  That line was my True North for this body of music, and the message that inspired me to see this project through. So much so, that in edition to the 4 song digital ep, we have a 10 song deluxe vinyl and hoodie!
