More than 10 years after fading from the public eye, indie music cult figure David Cloyd returns to the scene in a big way with "Red Sky Warning" (ECR Music Group), a 10-song collection of hauntingly tuneful, sonically adventurous material that re-establishes and reinvents his place in the pantheon of truly unique musical voices. "Red Sky Warning" has also received several Apple Music editorial placements alongside artists such as St. Vincent, The Cure, Bon Iver, and U2, verifying Cloyd's enduring presence on the international indie stage.
Cloyd's long-awaited reemergence represents a rare moment of creative clarity: an album that is not only a comeback but a recalibration. "Red Sky Warning" co-produced and mixed by indie polymath Blake Morgan [Lenny Kravitz, Lesley Gore, Janita] is a Cloyd at an emotional depth as yet un-mined, on the foundation of the distinctive sound that earned him comparisons to Radiohead, Beck, Jeff Buckley, Peter Gabriel, but is uniquely, unmistakably his own.
At 44 minutes and 53 seconds, the album unfolds like a cinematic voyage through openness, strength, and discovery. Standout tracks such as "Cage of Water" and "Small Wooden Boat" possess that quiet urgency and lyrical precision that have always served Cloyd well, even from his debut, though there's now more gravity and grace. Cloyd's return isn't just a headline but a flare from an artist who never really went away. Red Sky Warning is more than just a return; it's a reckoning.
