Cloud Nothings‘ highly anticipated new album, Final Summer, is out today from Pure Noise Records! The record has already garnered attention from the likes of Pitchfork, NPR, Stereogum, Rolling Stone, Paste, BrooklynVegan, Uproxx, FLOOD Magazine, and more, and continues the band’s nearly 15 year streak of unimpeachably fantastic guitar rock music.
Final Summer is the kind of 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. Now listeners can hear the record in full and experience the inventive riffing, effortless hooks, and earthshaking guitar tones that prove exactly why every Cloud Nothings release is downright essential. To celebrate, the band have shared their new music video for Final Summer‘s triumphant closer, “Common Mistake.“
Cloud Nothings–made up of vocalist/guitarist Dylan Baldi, drummer Jayson Gerycz and bassist Chris Brown–have evolved from scrappy lofi upstarts into a guitar music institution, churning out incredible songs at a rate and level of quality that few can compare to. Recorded with Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile, The War On Drugs, Torres, Purling Hiss), mixed by Sarah Tudzin (boygenius, Tim Heidecker, Pom Pom Squad), and mastered by Jack Callahan (Ryley Walker, Merchandise, Wolf Eyes), Final Summer offers their finest set of songs to date, perfectly capturing the mix of melody and noise that makes Cloud Nothings so special. Clocking in at a lean 29 minutes, the album is bursting with the unbridled joy that comes from playing guitars and drums loudly. This is not the work of a scrappy new band cramming all of their ideas into a debut album or grizzled veterans grinding through another release: it’s one of the tightest and most invigorating rock bands active today, driven to make the best version of themselves.
