Cloud Companion, “Can U Hear Me”

Resonant yet disheveled instruments greet listeners on Cloud Companion's debut single. Past the entropic intro, the song serenades ears with synth arpeggios and a minimal hi-hat, reminiscent of a Beach House deep cut. From TC Superstar collaborator Aaron Chavez, the solo project flags dream- and bedroom-pop influences from a mile away. Cloud Companion gears up for the release of their upcoming album Ordinary Time with help from fellow TC member Connor McCampbell. If the album bears any similarity to "Can U Hear Me," expect twinkly riffs and squeaky-clean electronics straight from heaven.
