French duo Cløudy Skies has just unveiled a new music video for their song »Haze On The Way« from their recently released album »Changes«. »Haze On The Way« videoclip premieres via Moshville Times.

»Changes« is available now on all digital platforms.

The dreamgaze/atmospheric/progressive/post-metal band describes the track as the perfect ending song for »Changes«.

The video was made by Nicolas Simon with only GIF Collage and a Smartphone.

Nicolas Simon comments: “»Haze On The Way« is a special song: it is our ending song. We composed it especially for that goal. For us there are 2 main songs on an album: the opening one and the ending one. »H.O.T.W.« gathers all the themes (mostly dreams, meaning of life and death) and moods of »Changes«.

When I wrote the beginning of the song with these notes that beautifully repeats and sent it to Lionel, we both knew that it would be a stunning song to end the album. We agreed that it should be simple in its structure with 2 principal states and 3 movements. So it starts as a sad shoegaze/indie/rock song, then it becomes a powerful dark blackgaze one with blast beats and finally it ends as it started: a sad and dark (end of life) indie/rock song but so peaceful at the same time. To intensify the feeling of inner peace and in some way a death journey, we made the echoes sound endlessly. It is a kind of mix between Slowdive (especially »No Longer Making Time«, 2017) and Deafheaven (»Sunbather«).

So as a “main” song it deserved a video, didn’t it! I had that idea in mind: to make my own video using GIF Collage. So I worked several nights with my smartphone and I sent the first idea of Collage to Lionel. He said: “huge video”! Eventually when I finished my second edit, I asked Argonauta Records if we could do an official release and Master Gero gave me his consent.

Here it is! Enjoy my vision of »Haze On The Way«.”

Cløudy Skies is composed of Lionel Forest on vocals, bass, and samples, and Nicolas Simon on guitar and lyrics. Fans of Deafheaven, Katatonia, Solstafir, Ulver, Russian Circles, David Lynch, and other similar artists are sure to love Cløudy Skies.
