Cold and Cloud is the self-produced solo debut of LEILA ABDUL-RAUF. A temporary escape from the worlds of her current (VASTUM, HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE, and more recently, IONOPHORE) and former projects (SAROS, AMBER ASYLUM), ABDUL-RAUF enters a world all of her own weaving brass and piano passages into filmic soundscapes inspired by the cold, dreary summers of San Francisco. Cold and Cloud tells an introspective story of loss from the haunting lyrical sections of tracks like "Tears in White Fluids" and "Questions", to the solemn drones of "Will I Be Sane?" and the funereal finality of "Separation". This vinyl edition also features distinctive artwork by Tor Lundvall, visually embodying the ghostly ethereal sounds that lie within.
