Cumulus

Cumulus is proud to announce the new album We’ve Got It All, due out on April 18th via Share It Music. The new LP marks the fourth album by Cumulus, the songwriting project of Alexandra Lockhart and William Cremin. Cumulus has evolved over the years while scooping up praise from the likes of Stereogum, Interview, Consequence, PASTE, Under The Radar, KEXP, Brooklyn Vegan, Atwood Magazine, Seattle Weekly, The Stranger, and NPR Music’s All Songs Considered. What started out as the sole endeavor of Lochart has grown into something of a duo, with Cremin fully taking on co-writer and co-producer roles for the songs on We’ve Got It All. Today they share the lead single “Simple”, an ode to the seemingly less chaotic and fraught John Hughesian past of the 80s and early 90s. “Will it ever be that simple again?” ask Lockhart and Cremin as they harmonize together on the chorus. Written in between long drives and voice memos, solo walks in the woods, and writing sessions in a cozy Seattle basement practice space, We’ve Got It All is a reflection on the most important things in life that carry us through the most difficult times. It is songs inspired by childhood friendships, a hello from a neighbor, bookish escapes, winding highways, family connection, and of course, always, music. In the vein of Lockhart’s biggest songwriting inspiration Jason Molina when he said “The real truth about it is no one gets it right /The real truth about it is we're all supposed to try…” the song “Boxes and Letters” holds the thesis statement and titular line of the record: “Take a deep breath of the cold air and watch the leaves fall, for a minute we’re pretending- we’ve got it all- figured out.” Support from: Mike Edel and hernamewasprincess
