We’ve just finished a short tour in support of the EP, so we’re looking forward to getting back into the studio and doing a bit of writing.
Barry Sadler later wrote the hit song, The Ballad of the Green Berets. What are your plans for the rest of the year and beyond? Jane Fonda sits on an antiaircraft gun during a 1972 trip to North Vietnam. Read about The Ballad of Lady Jane from Jane Morgan's The Ballads of Lady Jane / The Second Time Around and see the artwork, lyrics and similar artists. We can confirm that we’re working together on something very exciting which will be released next year – watch this space! To be welcomed into the fold with our own music is something we’re super proud of. There’s just no other band that sounds like Arab Strap, for example. We loved the fact that each artist on the label was unique and fearlessly creative in their own way. It’s been amazing working with Rock Action! When we first started Cloth we looked up to the label so much. What’s it been like working with the label? And is Low Sun just the first taste of what’s to come? You’ve recently signed to Rock Action, which feels like a great fit. A band like Beach House for example make beautiful use of space in their music – they can stop you in your tracks with just a single synth and drum line. There are a lot of musical and visual artists who we take inspiration from for that sort of thing. It’s a lot easier to build a strong mood or convey emotion using a few choice elements than layering up loads of stuff, we find. We’ve always been drawn to spacious, minimal music which allows lyrics and instrumentation to breathe and attract attention in their own right. How do you go about creating these moods on record? Is there anyone/anything in particular that inspires your music making? I’m fascinated by the emotion you manage to carry in the spaciousness of your music, especially on the new EP. I think, without the usual distractions, it was an easy time to dwell on anything that was troubling or upsetting, so songs like Sidecar and Old Stories, for example, explore the sort of crippling overthinking that was so easy to fall into during that time. We wrote the majority of the EP during lockdown which was a pretty rough time for most, so I think the bleakness of that time definitely found its way into the music we were writing. How did you arrive at this sound and can you tell us about some of the themes found across the EP? There’s a great balance in sound across Low Sun, but it’s definitely on the darker side of the Cloth oeuvre.
