French dreamgaze and atmospheric post‑metal duo Cløudy Skies unveil "Lights Of The Night", the second track lifted from their forthcoming album Bury Me Beneath The Stars, due for release on 16 October via Argonauta Records on CD, vinyl and digital formats.
Accompanied by a striking video clip, "Lights Of The Night" expands the immersive sonic world first hinted at with the earlier single "Depth Spell". The track features a powerful guest appearance by Keijo Niinimaa, vocalist/frontman of Finnish grindcore stalwarts Rotten Sound, whose raw, uncompromising delivery intensifies the song's emotional weight and adds a new dimension to Cløudy Skies' atmospheric sound palette.
Bury Me Beneath The Stars sees the duo refining the identity established on their debut record while reaching new emotional and dynamic depths. The album blends crushing post‑metal, dreamgaze textures, shoegaze atmospheres and cinematic post‑rock into a cohesive, immersive body of work where tension, melody and heaviness coexist in deliberate balance.
Alongside Niinimaa, the album also features guest vocals by Chris Richard of French blackgaze outfit Nature Morte, further broadening its expressive range. The visual identity of Bury Me Beneath The Stars is anchored by The Levity Of Summer, a photograph by American artist Samantha Muljat, whose intimate, contemplative imagery mirrors the record's themes of solitude, melancholy and suspended beauty.
The duo comment: "We're genuinely happy to be working once again with Argonauta Records. This collaboration feels natural, like returning to a place where our music is truly understood and given the space it needs to breathe, mutate, and darken. On Bury Me Beneath The Stars, we pushed the work on composition and arrangements to an extreme. Every detail was questioned, stretched, dismantled. Hours were spent testing clean tones, stacking effect pedals, sculpting textures, searching for the right grain of distortion, not for excess, but to find the exact point where emotion becomes physical. We don't write songs to fit a genre. We chase that fragile zone where beauty and threat collapse into the same movement, where sound feels like immersion rather than progression. This album isn't built to unfold gently. It transforms, shedding skin as it goes. If it feels like floating and sinking at the same time, then it's doing what it was meant to do".
With Bury Me Beneath The Stars, Cløudy Skies continue to blur the boundaries between post‑metal, shoegaze and dreamgaze, crafting a record driven as much by atmosphere as by sheer sonic weight. Rich in texture, emotion and cinematic scope, it stands as the duo's most mature and compelling work to date. Link
