Patricia Brennan Nick Dunston Tomas Fujiwara Jacob Garchik Laurie Anderson 'All the music on 'Cloudward' was written in 2022, when things started moving forward. Air travel had resumed, and we were once again cloudward. This band was quite simply working, musically and personally, and the main thing I felt while writing was optimism.' —Mary Halvorson
