Cloud Nothings

Cloud Nothings, a.k.a. Dylan Baldi, has been dropping lo-fi bedroom recordings on the internet for a year or so now, and he's finally gotten around to recording an album, to be released early February next year. it's catchy, post-Jay Reatard pop punk with wistful lyrics and a gloriously lo-fi aesthetic

Understand It All will be the lead single off of the new album, presented here in glorious 320kb:

the po-po told me to remove the links but y'all should check em out regardless, they rule.

and in addition, the band's released a compilation of the various cassettes, vinyl and cd-r's that Cloud Nothings have released, here collated for ease of listening in the one .zip.

This year's indie oeuvre was all about the beach thanks to albums from Best Coast and Wavves, among many others (including a train wreck of epic proportions from Kings of Leon...) but Cloud Nothings may have just carved out a place for the 'burbs in 2011.

TAKE ME OVER (THEE LOVING HAND REMIX) - CUT COPY (2010)

I've been looking for an excuse to start this thing up again (been a few months), and i think this might merit a good post: Cut Copy's new album Zonoscope will be coming out worldwide on February 8th, but I've got an album cover, tracklisting and remix of a track ahead of time for you to get all hyped about. without further ado;

The tracklist is as follows, and in no particular order:

1. Need You Now

2. Take Me Over

3. Where I'm Going

4. Pharaohs & Pyramids

5. Blink and You'll Miss a Revolution

6. Strange Nostalgia for the Future

7. This Is All We've Got

8. Alisa

9. Hanging On To Every Heart Beat

10. Corner Of The Sky

11. Sun God

and finally, I dug up a remix by Tim Goldsworthy, co founder of the NY label Mo' Wax and co-owner (with James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem fame) of another NY label, DFA Records. He produced Cut Copy's last album, In Ghost Colours and has done production work for The Rapture, Hercules and Love Affair, and collaborated with Massive Attack on their last album, Heligoland. Here in his remix guise Thee Loving Hand, he's put together an absolute monster of warm, analog synth fuelled chaos, which, at 10 minutes long, travels through several different dance genres before climaxing and receding.
