Music has been the through-line of Chris Joynt’s life since middle school, when he first picked up a guitar and started loud, scrappy punk bands like The Screaming Kilts, learning the rush of distortion, sweat, and DIY stages. As his ear matured, he was taught the grit and soul of the blues with D&D (DeGrant & Dougy), where stripped-down riffs and expressive improvisation sharpened his feel, phrasing, and emotional range. That foundation gave way to the psychedelic swirl of The Hidden Bandits From Outer Space Who Love Space, where extended jams, cosmic themes, and a fearless sense of play led to a Battle of the Bands win and the release of The Lunartic - a concept EP about an astronaut altered forever after passing through a black hole. From there, Chris turned inward with his solo alias Cpt. Cloudshine, blending heartfelt originals with reimagined classics, refining both his songwriting voice and production instincts. Now, with Blanket Archive, he steps into the role of Executive Producer, sculpting tone, texture, and identity—finally shaping the sound he’s been chasing since those first chaotic chords in a middle-school garage.
Blanket Archive captures memory & growth through hazy guitars and quiet honesty. Each track feels intimate and reflective.
The album explores love, doubt, & becoming, wrapped in layered guitars and spacious drums. At its core, it’s about trying your hardest — and knowing that still matters.
What's something exciting your “Almost Said It” is about that slow-motion moment where you could tell the truth… but you don’t. Two people editing themselves in real time, terrified of making it real. offers? Say it here.
A politically charged protest anthem that confronts silence, complicity, and global inaction in the face of violence and humanitarian crisis
This song captures a love that began in a simple, everyday moment and quickly grew into a lifelong partnership built on family, adventure, and shared history. By Cpt. Cloudshine
