Little Cloud is the sixth studio album by Australian band The Whitlams, released by Black Yak through Warner in 2006. Little Cloud is a double album.
The first disc, entitled 'Little Cloud' is about returning to Australia from overseas in an election year. The second disc, aptly titled 'The Apple's Eye' is for the most part thematically centred in New York City.
The majority of the Album was written by singer/songwriter Tim Freedman whilst he lived for several months in New York.
The first single to be taken from the album is "I Was Alive". Whitlams singer Tim Freedman described this track as "a barroom stomp with honky tonk piano, real old-fashioned Whitlams". "I Was Alive" is a radio-only single. "Fondness Makes the Heart Grow Absent" was the band's second single, and was also radio-only. "Beauty In Me" was released as a radio-only single in November 2006. A re-recorded version of 'Beautiful As You' was released as a CD single in February, 2007.
