After two fan-funded studio recordings and nearly four years touring the US as an independent act traversing the continent, Quiles & Cloud (Maria and Rory, respectively) teamed up with Grammy Award-winning artist and producer Alison Brown for their latest album, 'Beyond the Rain' on the Compass Records label. Human emotion and world strife play out as central themes throughout the new album. Quiles & Cloud (pronounced key-less) have marked a pivotal moment in their development as a group, demonstrating their continued ability to combine subtle precision with stark grit and creative exploration.

Quiles & Cloud, along with touring partner Oscar Westesson, visited Beehive Productions Studio of a exclusive Folk Alley Session taping in April 2016.
