Cloud Nothings – Hey, Cool Kid

• 14th Oct 2010

The latest bright young things to join the Wichita Recordings family in the UK are the effortlessly talented Cloud Nothings, dropping what sounds like one of THE jams of the year in 'Hey Cool Kid' on 7″ and download on 18th October.

This will be followed by 'Turning On', a collection of all their previous releases on one handy LP, out 25th October.

Here they reveal the eccentric accompanying video for the single involving a half man / half robot basketball player….

Music fans the world over (the Carpark label release in the US) can now hear and enjoy Cloud Nothings without scouring the internet in search of hard-to-find seven inch singles. The incendiary “Turning On” EP, the ultra limited and rollicking “Group Tightener” seven inch single, and two killer songs from a super-hard-to-find cassette only release are now available in one handy package! These thirteen songs are the perfect introduction to the heavenly world of Cloud Nothings, and an ideal primer for the highly-anticipated debut full length due early 2011.

'Turning On' will be preceded by single 'Hey Cool Kids' on 7″ and download on 18th October.

Less than a year into their existence, Cleveland's Cloud Nothings have made quite an impression. 18 year old Dylan Baldi recorded a handful of taut catchy lo-fi indie rock songs on his computer over the winter. Next thing we know the folks are praising his songs with adjectives like “ebullient”, “punchy”, and “insanely catchy”.

Their debut LP is currently being recorded in Baltimore with Chester Gwazda who has also recorded albums for folks like Dan Deacon and Future Islands. It probably won't be as lo-fi as his past stuff.
