2010, Carpark Records

Less than a year into their existence, Cleveland's Cloud Nothings have made quite an impression. Eighteen 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 folks are praising his songs with adjectives like "ebullient," "punchy," and "insanely catchy." With Carpark Records' release of Turning On CD, music fans the world over can now hear and enjoy Cloud Nothings without scouring the internet in search of hard-to-find seven inch singles. The infectious debut from Cloud Nothings is an unexpected and energetic dose of fuzzy bedroom pop songs. These maxed-out jams pick apart the space between youth and adulthood, flippantly avoiding both. Turning On is a full length with chiming guitars and undeniably catchy hooks tucked perfectly under a layer of home-recorded fuzz.
