Forget You All The Time

This is an almost heartbreaking session by Cloud Nothings. Filmed by The Fader, here you can hear a stripped down version of the band with just two acoustic guitars and vocals. It gives you an idea of how beautiful and rich this band's melodies really are, once you remove all electrics, drums and noise. It's almost hard to say which version of the band is favourite. Maybe an acoustic album would be a serious option for the future?



Also check out the acoustic version of their Turning On album's Hey Cool Kid, and compare versions below:

Cloud Nothings: Didn't You


Some time ago, I posted an mp3 of Even If It Worked Out, the b-side of Cloud Nothings' new single. Now, we also have the über-catchy a-side. Listen right here:

Cloud Nothings - Didn't You

Buy a copy of the 7" from Old Flame Records.

Cloud Nothings' hits


This boy just keeps producing lo-fi hit after lo-fi hit. Even If It Worked Out is the b-side from his new 7" on Old Flame Records. Again, it's catchy as hell.

Cloud Nothings



Cloud Nothings is The Thermals in het kwadraat. Waar The Thermals de laatste albums toch steeds netter zijn gaan klinken, doet Cloud Nothings nog een stapje terug ten opzichte van het debuut van die andere. Heel lo-fi opgenomen popliedjes met enorm veel hooks en melodieuze zang- en gitaarpartijen. Frontman en songschrijver is ene Dylan uit Cleveland, slechts 18 jaar. Als hij nu al zulke catchy nummers schrijft ben ik benieuwd naar de toekomst.

Luister:
Cloud Nothings - Hey Kool Kid
Cloud Nothings - Morgan

De eerste release van Cloud Nothings, Turning On, werd uitgebracht door Bridgetown Records (heel goed label!). Daar bestel je hem voor slecht 5 dollar (excl. 2 dollar verzendkosten). Of je haalt hem voor iets meer op prachtig vinyl bij Speakertree Records.
