Cloud Nothings
Add To My Artists

Cloud Nothings is an indie rock band from Cleveland, Ohio. Dylan Baldi started Cloud Nothings as a way to amuse himself between classes at Case Western Reserve University in 2009. The first batch of Cloud Nothings songs, including the blogosphere favorite "Hey Cool Kid" (available on the 2010 compilation "Turning On"), was recorded on a computer in the basement of Baldi's home in Westlake, OH. A concert promoter who invited Cloud Nothings to play a gig in New York City in December 2009 prompted Baldi to hastily assemble a real band and drop out of college to focus on his music full-time.Baldi recorded the second Cloud Nothings album (2010's Self Titled) in Baltimore with producer Chester Gwazda.The Cloud Nothings third album, Attack On Memory, was released in January 2012. It was the first album in 2012 to receive "Best New Music" status on Pitchfork.com.

Free Kisses
Add To My Artists

Free Kisses is Karen from Toronto [+ band]. On first listen she's that girl at school who everyone makes fun of a bit [because she's shy, likes books and that's how these things go] who one day she enters the singing contest and IS AWESOME. Next thing you know she's in NYC playing shows for "hipster kids" and people in the UK are saying how "gorgeous" her music is just because it's autumn and they get to wear mittens again. Somewhere along the line the school hottie wants to go out with her and those "plastics" flick their hair, pout and flounce off to the library. All the dudes rejoice because they didn't even like "those sort of girls" anyway, they were just pretending because that's how they thought things rolled.

On second listen that's doing her a disservice. Free Kisses isn't a saccharine tween hit. Her music is more like Grouper and the poised sound of Inca Ore. They're Unrest, not The Moldy Peaches. Detached vocals are lifted above icy plucking and her fed-back sounds melt into one another. She's plays with echoes and stylistic subtleties. Instead of strumming along like some mysterious loner she got a band and played tours with guy [Read more]

No superficial cheery endings here. It's heartbreak. It's joy. Minimal style.
