Fans of Cloud Rat know that the Michigan band has never been tied to one genre. Over the past ten years, Cloud Rat has established itself as one of the most compelling bands in the underground – releasing four full-length albums, eleven EPs and splits, a live album, and various other comps, the prolific Michigan trio has made a name for itself via sheer emotion and musical freedom. Emerging from the space where hardcore punk spirals into grindcore, Cloud Rat incorporates musical influences from across the map – black metal, death metal, noise, folk, and beyond – all while retaining its realness and urgency.
Do Not Let Me Off the Cliff sees the trio indulging in "shoegazing guitars, lush Gothic synthesizers, and atmospheric pop," in the words of Invisible Oranges. Vocalist Madison Marshall sings in a haunting voice, miles from the blackened screams she employs for most of Cloud Rat's material. Ethereal and dark, Do Not Let Me Off the Cliff is yet another piece of the Cloud Rat puzzle, and further proof that this band knows no limits.
The EP was recorded and mixed by Cloud Rat guitarist Rorik Brooks at his home studio, The Overlook. The music was mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Full of Hell, Torche).
