“Bands with expansive names evoking strong imagery rarely live up to their monikers. Fortunately in the case of Mountains for Clouds, we have a band that lives up to their title. Composing huge, soaring pieces that build and layer into a delicate beauty so fragile it threatens to break at a the drop of a pin. While most bands would take this step too far, Mountains for Clouds are masters of their craft, reigning in or pulling the intensity of their music like it was clay in their hands.” - Count Your Lucky Stars
“With roots back to Midland, Michigan, where drummer Ed Leto and guitarist Andrew Stefano grew up, Mountains for Clouds came together after the two made their way to Chicago and played their previous stint with bassist Dusten McAdams in the band CoachHouse. Though their first endeavor split, the three knew that they wanted to continue making music together, something that has come easily for the trio due to their close friendship. ‘We know each other well both musically and personally so it makes everything from recording, practicing, and playing shows easy, and just works out really well.’” - reviewsic.com
“Through the use of layered live loops and multiple instruments such as piano, organ, and cello, the Mountains For Clouds recordings offer a wider ranger of timbre and feel than the traditional three piece band, despite having simple guitar, bass, and drum at their core.” - reviewsic.com
