THE MODERN CLOUDS

New single ''To Find the Blue'':

The MODERN CLOUDS formed in 2024 after a number of recordings (SHOCKWAVE, THE DAYS OF THE BLIND AND ROSES, CALLING ANGEL) featuring the work of producer multi-instrumentalist LOUIS DENOMME and vocalist FRANKLIN SANE as part of their work as THE KOLLABORATORS with a mix of talented contributors. Two of those recordings reached number one on Independent radio stations in North America and Europe.A shared love of the sound of the second British invasion including new wave, post punk and shoegaze and a synaptic synergy led FRANKLIN and LOUIS to conclude there was more to be done. More sounds to be made and more fun to be had in tapping the melodramatic side of the post punk world. In search of a name FRANKLIN proposed the first thing that came to mind: THE MODERN CLOUDS. Suggesting an update on the sounds they loved while recognizing that at least in terms of the lyrics things might continue, at times at least, to remain cloudy. After all, their appreciation of much of the music they loved, acts like Bowie and the Psychedelic Furs, were full of characters and circumstances which remained subject to multiple interpretations.

''To Find the Blue'', the 1st single of our up-coming EP is now available for download here HERE.

In a world of dark affairs and crashing planes there may be a tendency to feel there’s no way out.That we’re caught in a pool of suffocating quicksand. And yet there is always another way. Though it may take time to find it. It may take time TO FIND THE BLUE.A mid tempo reverb laden alt rock track surrounds the daunting vocal delivery.

Also available on all streaming plateforms HERE.

SINGLES

SHOCKWAVE

An alien locomotive rockstar with an otherworldly presence and a failsafe plan for domination on arrival. Look for the flames when the lights go down over an eighth note drive. She’ s a SHOCKWAVE…
.

THE DAYS OF THE BLIND AND ROSES

The story of the emotional search through the forests of love. Blinding and bewildering, flowers may bloom in the rain, and still the stars fill the sky. A goth flavored power ballad that shuns despair and reaffirms the mission “to find a way to find you.”

CALLING ANGELS

I was calling for an angel , I was calling out of the blue from some kind of inspired place where sometimes things come true…there you are my beautiful angel my heart is full of things for you…

OUR MUSIC TRAVELS THE WORLD!

The Origine of The Moderns Clouds

The Modern Clouds is the meeting of two creative forces: Montreal-based composer-producer Louis Dénommé and dynamic vocalist-lyricist Franklin Sane. The duo first crossed paths through Louis’s global indie project, The Kollaborators, where their chemistry quickly became undeniable.Their initial collaboration gave birth to three evocative tracks: “Shockwave,” “The Days of the Blind and Roses,” and “Calling Angel”—songs that blend atmospheric alt-rock with emotional depth and cinematic tension. The success and creative synergy of these sessions inspired the pair to launch a dedicated project of their own.And so, The Modern Clouds was born—a space for experimentation, storytelling, and a shared love for 80s/90s alternative rock, layered with modern textures and introspective lyricism. With Louis’s rich production background and Franklin’s soulful, haunting delivery, the duo crafts soundscapes that are at once nostalgic and forward-looking.Below, you’ll find more about Louis and Franklin’s other musical projects, offering a deeper look into the creative journeys that shaped and continue to fuel The Modern Clouds.

"Louis' alternative music project, The Kollaborators, featuring collaborations with exceptional musicians and singers from around the world."

Louis's first active project, Dénommé / Laventure, began in 2020 in collaboration with Montreal-based French vocalist and guitarist François Laventure. Dénommé / Laventure is a musical project that explores dreamy, melodic soundscapes rooted in French alternative songwriting
