Alex Niedzialkowski, otherwise known as Cumulus, is excited to announce a new LP today, titled Comfort World, on Trans- Records. The record will come out September 28, 2018.

Comfort World sprung from a time of intense growth in Niedzialkowski's life following the end of a long-term relationship and her mother's cancer diagnosis shortly after. As she explains, "I wrote the song to process my confusion. I had to mourn the loss of a previous version of myself and the way I thought life would be. There was always a duality of both wanting to sulk in my sadness, and confront it head on, while also wanting to just be numb and stay in bed all day, stoned and alone. I think the whole album confronts this duality, because it's been a constant theme in my life. Do I challenge myself to grow and change, or keep inside the lines, safe and comfortable? Both options are alluring, and honestly I think what I would like to strive for is a balance between the two - but this album came out of a time in my life where I had given in to comfort a little too much."

The new record was recorded and produced by Mike Davis, a former intern of Chris Walla over seven months in Walla's studio, Hall of Justice.  Cumulus will embark on a US tour supporting Bad Bad Hats late this summer, and will follow that run with select headline dates on the East coast.
