‘Rain on Me’ is the third and final single from the forthcoming album and animated film, ‘Snail in the Clouds’ by Michele Ducci, recorded and produced by Simon Milner (Is Tropical, Ysing) in his 4 am Studios in London.

The album and film tell the story of a planet called ‘Snail’, inhabited by hybrids – primarily a mixture between scorpions, snails and humans – who lead a life according to the style of Pythagoras, devoted to music. There is also a cloud man named Agostos, a writer of musical operettas, who together with a talking smoke machine called Doctor Subtilis, begins to kill all hybrids, targeting in particular the hybrid musician Diodoros and his band, in an effort to steal the ark of melodies, an ancient ship that allows the whole planet to survive with music and joy.

‘Rain on Me’ features synth-heavy soundscapes and dancing bass along with Ducci’s cracked, world-weary vocals.

About the song, Ducci says, “I wrote it thinking about what the rain would say if it could speak. Before starting the recordings, I was listening to “Born Slippy” by Underworld, appreciating the soundscape that they managed to recall with the synth. When I entered the studio Simon told me that he thought a sound like “Born Slippy” would be perfect for the song. So, I think it was a telepathic communication. We recorded all the synth and then we let Leo dance with the bass on the song.”

The video for the single, created and animated by Ducci and Letizia Mandoleisi, is a beautifully choreographed episode in which Diodorus activates the tear ducts of the planet with the song ‘Rain on Me’ and is carried in flight by an umbrella.

The album and full-length film will be released on the 5^th of June on Monotreme Records. A Limited edition 200 copies 180 g vinyl LP will follow in July.

Michele and Letizia’s previous musical short film, ‘The Great Book of Nature’, is an official selection for the 2026 Venice Shorts Film Festival.
