The Cloud Maker’s debut self-titled album, available now via Skinnyfish Music. With this exciting release, the genre-defying female collective invites listeners on a sonic journey that taps into mystical traditions, transcending boundaries of folk, world, and experimental music.
Inspired by legendary figures and timeless myths from diverse cultures, The Cloud Maker’s music channels a unique blend of enchanting melodies and powerful storytelling.
The album’s centerpiece, the transformative track “Daughters of the Forest,” embodies the spirit of feminine connection to nature. Following the stunning releases of their previous singles, “The Godly River” and “Shaman Dance,” The Cloud Maker have continued to capture the magic of ancient knowledge while forging new ground in contemporary music with “Daughters of the Forest.”
Their debut album builds on this momentum, cementing their place as one of the most dynamic and boundary-pushing acts in the local scene today. Featuring Te Kahureremoa Taumata’s Maori Singing Treasures, Aviva Endean’s otherworldly clarinet, flute and electronics, Freya Schack-Arnott’s virtuosic cello, Maria Moles‘ bounding drums, and Sunny Kim’s evocative vocalisations, their inaugural record transports listeners deep into the pulse of a divine etherealm.
