Cloud Nothings - Fall In

Single review by KevW


The busy guys from Ohio's foremost lo-fi powerpop group Cloud Nothings are a band who like to keep a tidy release schedule, with an album a year for the last three years plus plenty of activity on the singles, videos and side-projects front (you can grab a free track from Chomp from here). They probably deserve a break and so far don't seem to have anything new scheduled for 2013, but we're expecting that to change before long. For the time being there's the small matter of completing the promotional activities for their latest album, the acclaimed, Steve Albini produced 'Attack On Memory'. This means a sizable US tour with Silversun Pickups and also a few European dates, including one in London.

To fire up a bit of interest and give us a gentle nudge to remind us they're still here, a new video has been made for the track 'Fall In'. One of the poppier tracks from their most punk sounding record to date, 'Fall In' feels loose and rough around the edges, guitars are battered and drums are clattered and it all sounds like Silver Sun (not to be confused with their soon to be touring buddies) covering a Weezer tune. It's packed with energy and should go down a storm live. The video shows the guys looking remarkably nonplussed about the remarkably well orchestrated acrobatic routine going on around them. There's no mention of dancing girls at the gigs but they should be a riot nonetheless.
