Cloudbelly

Cloudbelly is a chamber-pop indie folk band from Western MA with a sound that is at once intimate and cinematic. The group is fronted by singer-songwriter Corey Laitman, a former member of the NYC antifolk scene and Signature Sounds record label, whose ethereal poeticisms are delivered in a spellbinding voice that tips its cap to Sufjan Stevens and Joni Mitchell in equal measure. Laitman is joined by guitarist and ambient sound sculptor Sam Perry (SVIP), and drummer, producer, and sound mangler Nate Mondschein (who often works under the moniker of Best Mann). Together, the group makes music that sounds something like if boygenius, Grizzly Bear, Ed O’Brien, and a book of Anne Carson poems got snowed into the same roadside diner and decided to make an album while they waited out the storm. Cloudbelly released their sophomore record, 'i know i know i know,' on Feb 23, 2024 on Strange Library Records, and are kicking off a tour in support of the album to follow.
