Andrew Kooyer Shoegaze with more range than I expected, love it Favorite track: Doubts.

Iain H How this band have escaped me for all this time is beyond me. But, within days of doing so, they announce this! Love the mix of slow, heavy almost doomgaze sounds. But Dissolution Wave is on permanent rotation as THE track! Favorite track: Dissolution Wave.

notimetotry Absolutely incredible record. These guys are playing at their peak. Extra brownie points for Nascar love. Favorite track: A Force At Play.

about

Cloakroom celebrate their tenth anniversary as a band with their new album, Dissolution Wave.

Dissolution Wave is a concept - a space western in which an act of theoretical physics—the dissolution wave—wipes out all of humanity’s existing art and abstract thought. In order to keep the world spinning on its axis, songsmiths must fill the ether with their compositions. Meanwhile, the Spire and Ward of Song act as a filter for human imagination: Only the best material can pass through the filter and keep the world turning.

This is the universe that Cloakroom guitarist/vocalist Doyle Martin conceived as a way of processing the last few years. “We lost a couple of close friends over the course of writing this record,” he says. “Dreaming up another world felt easier to digest than the real nitty-gritty we’re immersed in every day.”

With lyrics based on an imagined cosmology, Dissolution Wave also marks a grand expansion of Cloakroom’s dreamy space-rock palette. Written from the perspective of the album’s protagonist—an asteroid miner who writes songs by night—”A Force at Play” has an airy, pastoral feel. Meanwhile, the melancholy title track captures the miner’s regret as they lament that they signed up for such a long stint on the job, while closer “Dissembler” describes their anxiety about the revelator who will judge their work. “If you don’t write a good enough song in this universe, you run the risk of being forgotten and lose the opportunity to return as a meaningful form of life,” Martin explains. The stakes have never been higher!

Tired of Tomorrow (Deluxe Version)
by Nothing

Philadelphia's NOTHING return with 'Tired Of Tomorrow', a modern, nihilistic take on the triumphant fuzzed-out guitar rock of the 90's replete with huge hooks and brooding melodies. Cloakroom

Grief's Infernal Flower
by Windhand

'Grief's Eternal Flower' is simultaneously massive, heavy and personal. Dorthia Cottrell firmly establishes herself as one of the best vocalists of the genre balancing beauty with enormous power. Cloakroom

AVVOLGERE
by True Widow

'Avvolgere' rocks and rolls with serene, rounded climaxes and steep, jangling choruses that engulf the listener with waves of downbeat, saccharine melodies and mesmerizing distortion. Cloakroom

Somehow, I missed this album in 2020, glad I found it now, just awesome. Atmospheric, heavy, with some interesting melodies and lyrics. Listened to it over and over many times now and have always found something new. Desert Rambler, Folding and Shapeshifter are excellent. Looking forward to more (hopefully not in another 20 years!)
