Hey readers, can you even believe how great our devotion is to you? Even in mid-December when there’s nothing going on in the music scene because everyone’s checked out for the holidays, TMT continues to faithfully shit out paltry scraps of news like NO ONE else can. Oh, what’s that? Cleveland “lo-fi” party-jam act Cloud Nothings have like five or six shows planned for next year? SURE. I’LL REPORT THOSE RIGHT AWAY. (See? Dedication.)
Oh, and what’s this? The press release for this is somewhat hyperbolic and scattershot? NO PROBLEM. I’ll just cherry-pick the good stuff for our readers real quick so they can get back to their online holiday shopping a little bit faster! Let’s see… blah, blah blah, Cloud Nothings is Dylan Baldi, who recorded in his basement until he got a deal with Carpark. Something, something new self-titled album dropping on January 25 via Carpark… Chester Gwazda (Dan Deacon, Future Islands) producing. Yadda, yadda… songs are still super-catchy and -groovy, but not as lo-fi as before (this distinction is stressed a few times, by the way). Uh… anything else? Baldi played all instruments on the album, Cloud Nothings is an awesome band, etc, etc. Check out their dates below leading up to the album’s release.
Okay, looks like we’ve got a quality story here. Run ‘er up the flagpole, Squeo! And P, where the hell’s my X-mas bonus? Happy Holidays from Cloud Nothings and Tiny Mix Tapes, everybody. Ho ho ho!
