Cloudsurfers’ mutant strand of garage punk, post-grunge and psychedelic rock rolls with the glee of a bunch of death-defying storm chasers. One moment their songs swarm at the heart of the breakneck G-forces, the next they’re ghostriding the expressway to hook-laden alt-pop nirvana.
Cloudsurfers’ second album Subhuman Essence – out September 15th, 2023 – is a daredevil attempt to match the group’s boisterous stage hijinks on record. Furthermore, it captures a band urgently familiarizing themselves with one another. To mix Subhuman Essence, Cloudsurfers approached producer Michael Badger, who previously worked with Amyl & The Sniffers and SONS, and twiddled the knobs for King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s totemic Nonagon Infinity.
