I fidget with my wedding ring a lot. I'm a bit of a restless person to begin with, but when it comes to the only piece of jewelry that I ever wear, I tend to feel more like I'm regularly pinching myself to make sure it's real. If I'm doing it in a photo or a video, it's my own...

James Tabbi’s remixes are just as descibed in Canada's @uraniumwaves review - "electronic work that rewards attention." Very happy to find that this song can survive “at least four” different climates! “David Cloyd avoids treating momentum like a given, which is why..."

When I wrote "Cage Of Water," I was already past the difficult period of sleeplessness that inspired it. But I didn't fully understand that I was still having difficulty, even though the lyrics obviously did. Truthfully, it was the beginning of a long road, one that I'm still traveling on...

@jamestabbi.bsky.social really brought new energy to “Cage Of Water” in his remixes. It’s one of the most important songs I wrote for Red Sky Warning, and his work really makes it sing anew. Grateful to Magnetic Magazine for this review:

After one of my family's Thanksgiving feasts some years ago, I broke a glass while washing dishes and cut my right hand up. I wasn’t much help with my knuckles and thumb wrapped up in gauze, so I grabbed my guitar and started mindlessly strumming the strings with my bandaged thumb.

I’m especially glad that Ireland’s No Transmission shows extra love for the deep cuts! The “Symnambient" and "Lonely Island" remixes are stunning work from James Tabbi!

Read the review of “Cage Of Water [Remixes]” from Distortion Diaries: “This EP doesn’t just revisit a song—it reframes it, proving that sometimes the most powerful way forward is to stay with one idea long enough to truly understand it.”

Read the review of “Cage Of Water [Remixes]” from UK’s NuvaPulse: "Some remix projects feel like afterthoughts. David Cloyd’s 'Cage Of Water [Remixes]' does not. Instead, it comes across as a careful and genuinely inspired extension of a song that already carried emotional weight.”

What a beautiful ride 2025 has been. It’s hard to express how gratifying it’s been to release my new album Red Sky Warning this year. I poured my heart and soul into this project for a long time, and the fact that these songs are finally out there means the world to me.

Read Apricot Magazine’s detailed track-by-track review of my new record Red Sky Warning, out now: "His voice, as always, is a weapon of vulnerability. His work isn’t about mimicry or trend-chasing. It’s about excavating emotion and presenting it, unfiltered and unflinching.”

My new album ‘Red Sky Warning’ is out today. Listen now: orcd.co/drsw “David Cloyd is back, and back with a vengeance.” —The Big Takeover

Once I got married and started a family, my life had its fair share of difficult decisions. I’ve always done my best, but invariably, I've sometimes felt less than certain I was making the right call. The same was true before, of course—I just didn’t have as much to lose.

Back in the mid-to-late 20-teens, I had already recorded a nearly complete version of Red Sky Warning. My producer Blake Morgan and I listened to these early takes together, and we both had the same reaction - the songs needed a completely different recording approach.

What an amazing time I’m having. With three recent singles out, my music is reaching its largest audience ever (by far). My new album arrives June 6, and I can’t wait.

My role as VP of Creative Operations at ECR Music Group is intertwined with my artistry and musicianship. Thanks to Buzzy Band for recognizing this, for connecting the dots, and for this great review of my new single. Read the full article here: buzzyband.com/david-cloyd-...

I was driving through a blizzard in the dark one morning when “Ocean Of Hours,” the first single off my upcoming album "Red Sky Warning,” came to me. The messy weather resembled the rest of my life at that moment. All of the pressures I was experiencing, new and old, were swirling around me... 1/5

I was approached by AAA some years ago to write music for a marketing campaign. They didn’t want a jingle, they wanted a brand anthem - a “real” song that was somehow related to what they do without any direct references. I thought, “Sure, I can do this——indie rock needs a song that’s..." (1/5)
