Cloudbelly is a Western Massachusetts-based indie-folk band known for their emotionally charged songwriting and expansive, genre-blurring sound. Centered around Corey Laitman’s poetic lyrics and haunting vocals, the band draws from alt-folk, art-rock, and ambient textures to create music that feels nostalgic, cinematic, and raw. Their 2024 album i know i know i know earned national acclaim—named one of the Top 10 Albums of the Year by The Boston Globe and nominated for Album of the Year at the Boston Music Awards. With a lineup featuring guitarist Sam Perry, drummer/producer Nate Mondschein, and bassist/vocalist Ciarra Fragale, Cloudbelly delivers live performances that are both emotionally immersive and disarmingly playful. Their next album, due in 2026, marks a bold new chapter in their evolving sound.

Cloudbelly’s full-band debut, though not their debut debut, “i know, i know, i know” is a little like licking a 9 volt battery. It’s just too good to stop.

While it’d be easy to say, “if you dig Snail Mail or Big Thief you’ll dig this,” that’d be reductive to Cloudbelly and to Snail Mail and to Big Thief, and frankly I think comparison in music like that is a big bunch of snot anyway. You’re smart. You’ll figure it out.
