The Line up

The Outers
The Outers are a London based indie rock band. Their songs are characterised by a distinctive, up-tempo rhythm section supporting catchy guitar and vocal melodies. "We try to incorporate the vintage sound and subtle melodies of British pop, and the depth of Post Punk with the edge of electro pop to add a bit of a dance groove.
The Outers manage to find their style after mixing their influences such as the Arctic Monkeys, Metric, Grimes, Temples, Editors, Chvrches, The Strokes, The Killers, Suede, Coldplay, Blondie and The Cure.

Desert Clouds
Desert Clouds is a London based, Alternative Psychedelic-Stoner Rock band that aims to the pure artistic expression, while either composing and performing. Their sound goes from warm and atmospheric to distorted and aggressive, sometimes enriched with acid dissonances and psychedelic arrangements. Founded by David Land and Val Wallace in 2008, Desert Clouds were always inspired by brotherhood ideals. Anchored to their friendship and the (World's forgotten) will of sharing, they "survived" several line up changes.

Desert Clouds debut (2015) in London as a trio, with the dark and introspective semi-acoustic album "The floating Oar", with its Psychedelic Blues/Folk songs and dark ballads. Once the drummer Andrea Orabona joined the band, they were able to add distortions and groove to the sound, bringing their genre to its full expression.

Among the band's influences you can spot Tim Buckley, Leonard Cohen, Syd Barrett, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, Dirty Three, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, QOTSA.

Two productions have followed the new line up: the EP "Beyond the Cage" (2016), produced at the IDO studios, and the EP "Time Distorions" (2017), produced at The MIX ROOM studio. The last single "Under Tons" has been released on the 4th of May (2018), produced at the MIX ROOM Studio.
