Das passt vom Sound. Eine neue Single gibts direkt dazu und weiß zu gefallen. Albumankündigung folgt wohl später ("this is the first taste of a bunch of stuff to come in 2024").
Armin Plattentests.de-Chef Postings: 28240 Registriert seit 08.01.2012	02.11.2023 - 19:11 Uhr CLOUD NOTHINGS RETURN WITH NEW SINGLE "FINAL SUMMER" OUT TODAY & SIGN TO PURE NOISE RECORDS Cloud Nothings are back! Cleveland's loudest export have joined the Pure Noise Records roster and to celebrate the announcement they've returned with a raucous new single, "Final Summer." Recorded with Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile, The War On Drugs, Torres, Purling Hiss), mixed by Sarah Tudzin (Porches, Tim Heidecker, Pom Pom Squad), and mastered by Jack Callahan (Ryley Walker, Merchandise, Wolf Eyes), "Final Summer" is the perfect reminder of what Cloud Nothings do best. The track emerges from a wash of crackling synths before roaring to life with a cutting riff and driving beat. Very few bands can pack a dynamic journey into a hooky rock song as effectively as Cloud Nothings and after its four minutes are up "Final Summer" will have you hitting repeat to take the ride again. Guitarist/vocalist Dylan Baldi discussed the new song, saying: “'Final Summer’ is about reconciling past versions of myself with the self I see when I look in the mirror every morning, always trying to learn more and using that knowledge to take the leaps of faith that are necessary to try new things and continue living and growing. Cloud Nothings has been around for 14 years now, and we wouldn't have been able to power through the many ups and downs of those years without taking the chorus of 'Final Summer' to heart: I have some thoughts, I have some dreams, but I need to be happy with what I've got for me. We're really glad to be working with Pure Noise. It's exciting to be on a label with so many great punk bands, and it's going to be inspiring to see our music standing alongside the myriad sick records that Pure Noise has released." Over their nearly fifteen year career, Cloud Nothings have evolved from scrappy lofi upstarts into one of the most reliably phenomenal mainstays in guitar music. Made up of Baldi, drummer Jayson Gerycz and bassist Chris Brown, the band have become part of the fabric of modern indie rock as we know it, releasing an unbroken streak of great albums and touring relentlessly. "Final Summer" picks up where they left off, providing the perfect hint at what's to come from the prolific group, and proving exactly why Cloud Nothings are one of our best and most enduring rock bands. Stay tuned for more from Cloud Nothings in 2024. Die PM dazu.

Cleveland's loudest export have announced their upcoming album, Final Summer, due out April 19th from Pure Noise Records. Over the past 15 years Cloud Nothings have become part of the fabric of modern indie rock with a steady run of reliably fantastic records, and this streak continues unabated with Final Summer–an album that’s so assured, so instantly satisfying, that it forces you to pause and realize you’re listening to one of the great American rock bands in their prime. Cloud Nothings recently shared Final Summer's title track (which garnered attention from the likes of Pitchfork, NPR, Stereogum, Paste, BrooklynVegan, Uproxx, and more) and today they've released another high voltage new single, "Running Through The Campus." It's a three minute blast of surging guitars and drums wrapped around the effortless hooks that vocalist/guitarist Dylan Baldi excels at. Baldi discussed the new song, saying: "I run through a college campus near my house just about every day. Occasionally it's after dark when I end up there, and the emptiness of it at night stands in stark contrast to the hectic and crowded early mornings. 'Running through the Campus' is about an intrusive thought I can have on those late-night runs, about whether or not it's slightly depressing that I'm out running around alone while everyone else is gone and actually doing something, probably with other people. The song describes my mindset at the start of my run, goes into a reckoning with and acceptance of the late night loneliness, and ends on a positive note about just doing the things that make you feel good and not getting bogged down in comparisons" Cloud Nothings–made up of Baldi, drummer Jayson Gerycz and bassist Chris Brown–have evolved from scrappy lofi upstarts into a guitar music institution, churning out incredible songs at a rate and level of quality that few can compare to. Recorded with Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile, The War On Drugs, Torres, Purling Hiss), mixed by Sarah Tudzin (boygenius, Tim Heidecker, Pom Pom Squad), and mastered by Jack Callahan (Ryley Walker, Merchandise, Wolf Eyes), Final Summer offers their finest set of songs to date, perfectly capturing the mix of melody and noise that makes Cloud Nothings so special. Clocking in at a lean 29 minutes, the album is bursting with the unbridled joy that comes from playing guitars and drums loudly. This is not the work of a scrappy new band cramming all of their ideas into a debut album or grizzled veterans grinding through another release: it’s one of the tightest and most invigorating rock bands active today, driven to make the best version of themselves. Final Summer track list: 1. Final Summer 2. Daggers of Light 3. I'd Get Along 4. Mouse Policy 5. Silence 6. Running Through The Campus 7. The Golden Halo 8. Thank Me For Playing 9. On The Chain 10. Common Mistake Biography: Some bands never miss. This rare breed consistently puts out great records every couple years, avoiding the lengthy hiatuses or egregious sonic missteps that often come with achieving longevity. It’s an often unsung reliability, as few realize how truly remarkable it is to put art into the world at this rate without letting the quality slip. For nearly 15 years, Cloud Nothings have continued to hit the target, steadily becoming a part of the fabric of modern indie rock as we know it with a run of fantastic albums. This streak continues unabated with their latest full-length, Final Summer–an album that’s so assured, so instantly satisfying, that it forces you to pause and realize you’re listening to one of the great American rock bands in their prime. Formed in 2009 by guitarist/vocalist Dylan Baldi, Cloud Nothings evolved over the years from a one-man lo-fi project into a finely tuned unit also composed of drummer Jayson Gerycz and bassist Chris Brown. Cloud Nothings, over so many years and so many records (nine or ten “depending on how you look at it,” laughs Baldi), have existed long enough to witness all sorts of musical moments come and go, but the secret to their endurance isn’t about savvily navigating trends. “We’ve just never felt inclined to stop,” Baldi explains. “It’s not like this makes us millions of dollars, but it’s a great gig, it’s what we love to do.” Gerycz adds, “It’s just still so fun every time we do it, every time we go get in the basement and start writing.” And it shows. Recorded with Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile, The War On Drugs, Torres, Purling Hiss), mixed by Sarah Tudzin (boygenius, Tim Hiedecker, Pom Pom Squad), and mastered by Jack Callahan (Ryley Walker, Merchandise, Wolf Eyes), Final Summer is bursting with the unbridled joy that only comes from playing guitars and drums loudly. This is not the work of a scrappy new band cramming all of their ideas into a debut album or grizzled veterans grinding through another release: it’s one of the tightest and most invigorating rock bands active today, driven to make the best version of themselves. “I just like making things,” says Baldi. “I love having something that I’ve made by the end of the day, even if it’s just one song. It’s like proof that my day happened. I’m just always trying to refine the thing we do, which is to make songs that take you from one place to another.” Very few bands take listeners on that kind of journey within a hooky rock song as effectively as Cloud Nothings, and the album’s opening title track proves exactly why. A wash of crackling synths sets the scene before the band roars to life with a cutting riff and Gerycz’s driving beat. From there, it’s layer after layer of interlocking melodies and guitar lines, all rising action while Baldi lays out the album’s overarching lyrical ideas. “It’s about feeling alright in the moment,” Baldi says. “A lot of these songs sort of ended up being about getting by or trying to keep improving despite everything.” His lyrics often take on a mantra-like quality, using repetition and a one-of-a-kind delivery to dig something deeper out of observations about the mundane or frustrating parts of life. On early Final Summer standout “I’d Get Along,” Baldi repeats “if something would happen with me…” over and over, each time adding to the tension before the track’s truly massive chorus explodes with a cacophony of fuzzed-out guitars and a howling “I’d get along.” Throughout the record, Cloud Nothings strike their trademark balance of inventiveness and accessibility, with every track full of hooks but also the kinds of details and twists that reward repeat listens. “The Golden Halo” feels like a two-minute-long chorus, hook after hook careening forward with a motorik beat and ever-growing sea of voices, while elsewhere songs like “Mouse Policy” or “Running Through The Campus” take very literal ideas and spin them into something else through walls of thick bass and thunderous distortion. On Final Summer closer “Common Mistake,” Baldi sings, “This is your life, it’s a common mistake. We’ll be alright, just give more than you take.” It’s the kind of deceptively direct lyric that he excels at, a clear and real sentiment filtered through a melody that’s stuck in your head before the end of the first chorus. The line could almost be an accidental mission statement for the band itself: a group that creates with a workman-like commitment, providing listeners with something authentic and artful at an unflinching pace. Cloud Nothings don’t miss, and you won’t want to miss them either.

Vive Postings: 1060 Registriert seit 26.11.2019	17.04.2024 - 20:51 Uhr gefällt mir richtig gut!
Adler_Eddie Postings: 33 Registriert seit 02.12.2021	19.04.2024 - 15:39 Uhr 5/10 Punkte ist gewagt, mindestens 7/10 hätten es meiner Meinung nach sein müssen. In der Visions sogar Platte des Monats.
Affengitarre User und News-Scout Postings: 11350 Registriert seit 23.07.2014	19.04.2024 - 15:51 Uhr Wobei es mittlerweile nicht viel braucht, um in der Visions Platte des Monats zu werden. :D Im Vordergrund stehen zerfressene Noise-Schleifen, um die vorn und hinten einzelne Verse drapiert werden. Auch in "I'd get along" verschwinden die Vocals im Mix – Hauptdarstellerinnen von "Final summer" sind ganz klar die bis zum Exzess strapazierten Gitarren. Das ist durchaus charmant und hat Drive, "Mouse policy" bolzt sogar fröhlich wie prähistorische Weezer durch die Mitte. Das klingt eigentlich echt interessant. Nachdem die letzten Alben der Band mich schon enttäuscht haben, höre ich hier mal vorsichtig optimistisch rein.
Adler_Eddie Postings: 33 Registriert seit 02.12.2021	19.04.2024 - 15:53 Uhr Mit Final Summer, Mouse Policy, Silence und The Golden Halo sind vier wirklich starke Lieder auf dem Album. Die letzten drei Tracks finde ich dann nicht mehr so prickelnd, ansonsten hätte ich sogar 8/10 geben.
Vive Postings: 1060 Registriert seit 26.11.2019	19.04.2024 - 16:37 Uhr hab jetzt auch mal weiter reingehört. sehr geil!
Vivat Virtute Postings: 182 Registriert seit 05.11.2023	20.04.2024 - 08:24 Uhr Reiht sich irgendwo zwischen "Last building burning" und "Life without sound" ein. Einer der selten Fälle, in denen die VISIONS akkurater bewertet als PT. Wobei das eh völlig egal ist, Hauptsache das Album ist gut.
Thanksalot Postings: 583 Registriert seit 28.06.2013	20.04.2024 - 10:45 Uhr Gute Einordnung, stimmt. Gefällt mir zumindest schon mal mehr als der uninspirierte Vorgänger. Endlich gibt es wieder Melodien, die im Kopf bleiben und Baldis Gesang taugt auch wieder. Andererseits möchte ich dem Rezensenten zustimmen. Ca. die Hälfte der Songs geht an mir vorüber. Stark sind der Titeltrack, "Running Through The Campus", "The Golden Halo" und "On The Chain". Finde auch das Schlagzeug recht dünn abgemischt und generell ist mir das alles ein bisschen zu clean. Vielleicht wächst es ja noch, aber im Moment schon eher so 6/10.
Vive Postings: 1060 Registriert seit 26.11.2019	20.04.2024 - 12:52 Uhr Clean? Finde der Sound ist ganz schön dreckig. Und insgesamt druckvoll, eigen und interessant.
noise Postings: 1042 Registriert seit 15.06.2013	20.04.2024 - 15:02 Uhr Bin überrascht. Hatte die Band nach den letzten Veröffentlichungen schon abgeschrieben. Die neue kommt zwar nicht an frühere Großtaten heran, aber der Mix aus eingängigen Melodien und krachigen Ausbrüchen passt schon.
Vive Postings: 1060 Registriert seit 26.11.2019	20.04.2024 - 17:52 Uhr Klingt auch so als ginge es der Band um ne good time
Rock und Independent Postings: 41 Registriert seit 13.05.2024	16.05.2024 - 22:51 Uhr Laut PT-Hausmeinung viel schlechter als die letzten von Taylor Swift und Dua Lipa. Wow...
