Limited Edition of 200 copies ONLY, in 6-panel Digipak. 10 Tracks. Running Time 41:29

Remastered re-issue of the mesmerizinig solo debut (2013) from Leila Abdul-Rauf, acclaimed for her evocative work with Amber Asylum and a host of other groundbreaking projects. Originally released to widespread acclaim, this reissue breathes new life into an album that remains as hauntingly relevant as ever.

A masterclass in sonic exploration, Cold and Cloud is a deeply immersive journey through ambient, experimental, and avant-garde soundscapes. Across ten intricately crafted compo- sitions, Leila builds a world that is as intimate as it is expansive. Her spectral vocal presence — used not as a vehicle for lyrics, but as a seamless instrument — lends the music a haunting, otherworldly texture. From rain-dappled vistas to distant, dreamlike horizons, each track captures a sense of mystery and quiet introspection.

The fully remastered audio enhances the album’s intricate layers and sublime subtleties, offering listeners an unparalleled experience of its melancholic beauty. Cold and Cloud is not merely an album—it is a meditative, transformative experience that rewards those willing to listen with patience and intent. Artwork by Tor Lundvall.
