'Dreaming Again' offers us vulnerable themes of personal enlightenment and insight, while also guiding us through dreamy imagery and surrealism through non-literal themes. In relation to past releases, this album steps out of the shade and into the sun. Building further on the sound palette established in recent years, there’s a continuing presence of Juno synthesiser and layered counterpoint melodies in the electric guitar and vocals. The lighter tone on much of the songs correlates with the generally uplifting mood scattered throughout, giving a nice contrast to the darker moments. Various lyrics reflect the artist’s recent interest in philosophy, in relation to the likes of psychology, epistemology, creativity and love.
There’s an appreciation here for the endless spectrum of the human experience, both desired and undesired and how the two co-exist.
The album’s tracks span across many years, with the ‘Dreaming Theme’ and a few other songs being written as early as 2019-2020. The variety of style and instrumentation scattered across this stretch of time lends itself to a unique listening journey, which was largely re-recorded and consolidated in Ramsay’s home studio in 2023-2024.

About the artist
Cloud Tangle
Cloud Tangle is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist and producer Amber Ramsay, which combines visual media and composition to evoke a mood equally devastating and beautiful.
The project formed in late 2014 and founded its relevance in 2016 through live shows in Brisbane. Stemming from bedroom focused production and expansive instrumentation; the project forms its own unique sound that falls into a dark dream-pop genre with elements of lo-fi and orchestral instrumentation. Ethereal vocals soar above intricate melodies and lush synthesizers, dragging you ever downward into a floating atmosphere.
The sonic elements gather with rawness and texture, while lyrical content stems from deep concepts of human emotions.
