About Cloth
For those unfamiliar, Cloth are a Glasgow-based alternative rock trio comprising siblings Rachael and Paul Swinton on vocals/guitar and bass respectively, alongside Liam Chapman on drums. Their sound is a captivating blend of intricate, often hypnotic guitar patterns, Rachael’s distinctive, ethereal vocals, and a rhythmic backbone that oscillates between subtle grooves and powerful surges. Drawing comparisons to bands like The xx and Warpaint, they carve out a unique space with their atmospheric soundscapes and emotionally resonant lyrics.
The band first emerged with their self-titled debut album in 2019, quickly earning critical acclaim for its understated brilliance and innovative approach to indie-alternative rock. Tracks like “Tripper” and “Old Modern Style” showcased their knack for crafting deeply textured and emotionally resonant pieces. Their sophomore effort, “Secret Measure,” released in 2023, further solidified their reputation, demonstrating a deepened maturity and willingness to explore more expansive sonic territories. This album, featuring standout tracks such as the title track and “Low Sun,” was lauded for its dynamic shifts and introspective lyricism. Live, Cloth are a force to be reckoned with; their performances are known for being incredibly tight, immersive, and capable of transporting audiences into their unique musical world.
