Michael Cloud Duguay maps memory and myth on new album Kingdom Come, Kingdom Go

Michael Cloud Duguay has announced his new album Kingdom Come, Kingdom Go, due July 10 via Watch That Ends the Night Records, and shared its stunning first single ‘Winterhouse’, featuring Scions.

Part field recording expedition, part abstract organ meditation, the album was recorded across seven historic church organs in remote Newfoundland communities, captured over nine days and 900 miles using a solar-powered mobile studio housed in a converted 1970s RV. Yes — it sounds as transportive as it reads.

Rather than a traditional organ record, Kingdom Come, Kingdom Go plays like a haunted sonic documentary, blending sacred music, free improvisation, ambient composition and sound art into something deeply atmospheric and quietly radical.

Lead single ‘Winterhouse’ offers a powerful first glimpse. Built around the breathing drone of a century-old church organ and elevated by spectral vocals from Scions’ Cormac Culkeen, the piece unfolds with devotional grandeur, drifting between folk ritual and experimental minimalism.

The project’s scope is as much archival as artistic: Duguay and collaborators also documented each organ as virtual instruments, set to be released as free public sample packs after the album lands — extending the project beyond record-making into preservation.

Following years spent exploring sound, place and collaboration in unconventional spaces, Duguay may have made his most ambitious work yet — one rooted in geography and community, but reaching somewhere cosmic.

With Kingdom Come, Kingdom Go, ancient instruments become living landscapes. ‘Winterhouse’ is out now, and if it’s any indication, this is one of the year’s most singular records in the making.
