Cloud Nothings

The peppy noise-rock of Cloud Nothings comes from a most unlikely source:  Dylan Baldi, of Cleveland.  Maybe in a self-therapy of sorts, Baldi has created some of the happiest, yet brashly defiant lo-fi of the past year.  This stuff is all upper, meant to be consumed in excess by summer scabs at a pier or park.  He also seem well-aware of his own music's appeal, releasing two full-length albums in the past six months.  Embrace your inner, angst-ridden child.  This music appeals to the self-indulgent.  It's Brooklyn, it's Austin, and it's San Francisco.  Hell, it's all of us sometimes.  Enjoy!

Albums:  Cloud Nothings (2011), Turning On (2010)
