All My Friends Are in Bar Bands

Music


It's an increasingly-common modern story. A project born out of a bedroom, a dorm room, a laptop, a loose collection of ideas, shifts from the micro to the macro. Few of these stories, however, have carved out such an intense niche as Dylan Baldi's noise-rock vehicle Cloud Nothings. Initially serving up indie pop with a sunny disposition, the band nosedived into Steve Albini-approved dissonance on 2012's Attack on Memory and never looked back. A prolific outfit and a rough-and-tumble live must-see, Cloud Nothings continue to adapt and evolve as a full-band assault. Following the release of their most recent album, The Shadow I Remember, Baldi spoke to us from his Philadelphia home about the band's ever-continuing and endlessly-intriguing story. The Shadow I Remember is out now via Carpark Records.
