Sonic explorations
from Nashville, TN.
New Single: Take Me To A Lake
“…a distinctive and delightfully unsettled sound. Even when a pleasant chord progression goes rippling by, there’s no telling whether it will turn into an ominous shuffle or dissipate into electronic stardust.”
– Nashville Scene
You’re just as likely to find an accordion backing a funeral dirge as you are a synthesizer underlying a whipping acoustic guitar … there’s a lot to digest here stylistically and lyrically, it’s clearly a band that has refined and expanded their sound. Sit with this one for a bit and be pleased.
– We Own This Town
Dark Energy out now.
Cloudmouth is an adventurous avant-rock ensemble from Nashville, that has been playing live and releasing music since 2014, exploring song structures and soundscapes. Developing their initial sound as a dynamic two-piece, the group has been slowly and methodically adding members over the years.
Current lineup is a four-piece with Kyle Numann (guitar, vocals), Amoretta Taylor (drums, vocals, percussion), Chris Wilson (cello, synthesizer) and Rob Stewart (bass).
“Guitarist Kyle Numann and drummer Amoretta don’t need more than their simple two-piece set up to captivate an audience and have them hanging on every word.”
– Nashville Offbeat
“Any video that features someone blindfolded and swinging at an imaginary pinata is a total winner in my book but these two managed to rachet it up a notch or three.”
– We Own This Town
Music
Dark Energy is an album about personal care, worldly terror, overwhelming contentment, and technological paranoia.
“The trio blends influences from folk, jazz, late-’60s-vintage pop and more into a distinctive and delightfully unsettled sound. Even when a pleasant chord progression goes rippling by, there’s no telling whether it will turn into an ominous shuffle or dissipate into electronic stardust. And the sound is an appropriate fit for the songs, which look at how we get by in the complicated world we live in.”

Info
People say the darnedest things:
“Numann’s folky, sentimental croon went down easy and eased our minds … drummer Amoretta Taylor’s fluid, intuitive percussion that really sold this routine. Using a variety of sticks, mallets, bongos and shakers to be as quiet or loud as needed, Taylor ebbed, flowed and cascaded with Numann’s occasionally noisy interludes and punched up his woeful delivery with an invigorating backbeat.” – Nashville Scene
“Kyle’s songcraft skips the mold completely. His songs get into your brain precisely because they are not familiar … complimented by the obvious musical chemistry between him and percussionist-extordinaire Amoretta Layne. Their apparent disregard for genre suits the music beautifully as they flow effortlessly from major key melodic perfection one moment, to flat out lysergic disabandon the next.” – Ben Lowry, Bang Ok Bang
