Ohio‘s rackety rockers CLOUD NOTHINGS launch their
8th album, named FINAL SUMMER on 19 April.

Press info: “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.”

They just dropped (already) the 4th single of the
forthcoming LP. A vigorous groover, named SILENCE

Dylan Baldi: “I wrote this song after reading that Samuel Alito’s Roe v. Wade opinion tried to justify banning abortion with quotes from a guy who literally burned women at the stake for being ‘witches’ in the 1600s. Like, how stupid do you have to be to think that a guy like that has said anything worth listening to at all? It’s wild that you can be a Supreme Court justice and also be an idiot. So I made ‘Silence’ about how sometimes you feel powerless watching bad people run the world, but that hopefully in the end you can find a way to live by decent values in whatever place you’re in.”

Wake-up people,
and be silent.

Today we can enjoy track #3, titled I’D GET ALONG
from the upcoming full length (stream all 3 below).

Dylan Baldi: “I got pretty obsessed with the band Earth during the pandemic, and that
led to an obsession with other doom metal, and then I started buying lots of fuzz pedals and downloading distortion plugins online — basically just anything that would blow out my guitar sound and get it sounding somewhere in the deep and fuzzed out ballpark of the heavy music I was listening to. ‘I’d Get Along’ is sort of a Cloud Nothings take on that sound, where the guitar is big and bulky but there’s a really poppy vocal melody on top, and the drums are bouncy and rolling around the other instruments in their own idiosyncratic way.”

Last November Ohio‘s hearty rockers CLOUD NOTHINGS
dropped a one-off single, named FINAL SUMMER.

But today we learn that it’s actually the title track of
their new, 8th album. It’ll hit your speakers on 19 April.

Along with the news, we get another appetizer.

Dylan Baldi (frontman) about RUN THROUGH THE CAMPUS : “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.”

In the song’s video clip the trio is playing the song in a
series of everyday locations like vans and living rooms.

Waking Up With The New High-Velocity Single ‘FINAL SUMMER’ By CLOUD NOTHINGS

In 2021 the Ohio rockers had their 7th album, named The Shadow I Remember out.

And they’re back now with a new track called FINAL SUMMER.

Dylan Baldi (frontman): “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.”

Expect high-velocity stuff.
