Just The Crust 17/11/25: St Cloud – What Matters 🎶
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new EP from St Cloud “What Matters“! 🌙
we’ve had them perform for us a bunch in the past, and we were super lucky to host their EP launch event in October – it was an incredible evening of fantastic musicianship, and such well-crafted tracks. a pleasure to have seen these tracks played live 😊
the EP sounds fantastic, it’s full of gorgeous melodies, harmonies and comes together in an incredible manner. there’s so much emotion relayed through each of the tracks, with suspense and tension, going to upbeat and flowing melodies that really show the chemistry of the band, with the cello, violin and drums all working in perfect unison to convey emotion and feeling in such an expert way. there’s a lovely flow to the EP, with each of the tracks complimenting one another superbly, that makes it one to definitely listen to from start to finish. 🤝
