Majical Cloudz was a Canadian music group from Montreal consisting of singer-songwriter Devon Welsh and Matt Otto. The group disbanded in March 2016.[4]
Welsh, the son of actor Kenneth Welsh and Corinne Farago,[5] began Majical Cloudz as a collaborative open project in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 2010. Welsh first collaborated with friend Matthew E. Duffy, releasing a self-titled cassette on Numbers Station, followed by an EP, Earth to a Friend/Mountain Eyes. They released their debut full-length album II in 2011.[6] Duffy left the group shortly after in 2011.
Otto, an electronic musician with a penchant for abstract soundscapes,[7] joined in 2012, appearing for the first time on the EP Turns, Turns, Turns.[6]
In January, 2016, the band released an EP, called Wait And See.[17] The group again collaborated with Owen Pallett, who also appeared on Are You Alone?[7]
On March 4, 2016, Welsh announced on social media that he and Otto were going their separate ways, and that Are You Alone? would be their last full release.[18] Both Welsh and Otto have gone on to pursue other projects.[4]
