Album Notes

"Puff" is Cloud Magic's debut album. Some of the songs were written over the last eight years, while others were created right before they were recorded. Written & produced by Dave Menzo, the album was recorded mostly at Cloud Magic's home studio, besides the tracks "Kitty Kat Eyes" and "Seven". Award-winning engineer and producer Glenn Brown lent his expertise in the mixing and mastering at GBP Studios.



Cloud Magic formed over a period of seven years. Starting with members Dave Menzo and Chad Golda, the two jammed and worked on song ideas written by Menzo that he had written for various solo projects. This evolved into a very creative and dynamic relationship. Golda would play bass and electronic samples, as Menzo would sing, play guitar, drums, keyboards, samples and anything else that would fulfill the need of each song. With his formal training in composition, guitar, drums, organ and voice, Menzo continued to push the writing and performances to a new level with Golda.

After a few years of collaborating with other musicians, playing live shows, and trying new things, Sarah Price entered the picture. Her angelic voice, and wonderful sense of harmony made her a perfect fit in the group. With her formal background in classical and jazz, as well her degree in Music Education, she added another technical layer in the music. Since the three are from Rochester Hills, Mi, it became very easy to get together and grow as a band.

Cloud Magic has played with a handful of drummers, all who have lent their creativity and individuality. However, it wasn’t until they met drummer Jerod Brocklehurst that Cloud Magic was finally complete. Being well versed in funk, latin, jazz, rock, and other genres, Jerod provided not only an endless encyclopedia of grooves, but a relentless energy that took the music to the next level. With this new power and stability fueling the band, Cloud Magic has been growing and morphing ever since.

Experimenting with many styles of music, and always looking for new ways to innovate sound, Cloud Magic is a creature of sound. Ever growing.
