Renowned as the fusion of Björk’s allure and Bat For Lashes’ mystique, MOLTENO embodies an otherworldly essence, marking the project as an emerging creative force. A fusion of dream pop, folk nuances, and trip-hop rhythms, MOLTENO’s sound immerses listeners in an ethereal experience, characterised by a unique style that hints at the futuristic. From sold-out shows at London’s The Love Shack to atmospheric performances at Camp Bestival and beyond, MOLTENO’s journey continues with “Clouds,” the third single from “Element 2,” a series of EPs celebrating nature’s elements and our interconnectedness.

“Clouds” embodies MOLTENO’s signature ethereal instrumentals and dreamy lyricism, crafting captivating soundscapes with angelic vocals at their core. Celestial rhythms blend seamlessly with tranquil melodies, layered over energising percussive beats, resulting in a vibrant, spellbinding composition. MOLTENO’s meticulous curation is evident in every aspect, from the atmospheric dream pop infused with folk and trip-hop influences to the intricate vocal delivery and poignant lyricism.

Reflecting on the track and its inspiration, MOLTENO explains, “With ‘Clouds’, I wanted to explore the potential of feeling connected with others, even those we’ve lost, by immersing ourselves in nature. I started writing it in the middle of the night when the rest of the house was out, I think that space between awake and dreaming seeped into the song.”
