Cloud Nothings recently announced their highly anticipated new album, ‘Final Summer,’ and Cleveland’s loudest export have returned with a tremendous new single ‘I’d Get Along.’ Due out April 19th from Pure Noise Records, ‘Final Summer’ continues the band’s nearly 15-year streak of unimpeachably fantastic guitar rock albums. It’s a record 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.
‘I’d Get Along’ follows earlier singles ‘Final Summer’ and ‘Running Through The Campus’ and sounds like Cloud Nothings trying to top their own incredibly high bar for big guitars and big hooks. Starting with a single fuzz-drenched guitar that’s already enough to shake the speakers ‘I’d Get Along’ explodes into one of the most toweringly catchy choruses of the band’s entire catalog.
Vocalist/guitarist Dylan Baldi discussed the new song, saying: “I got pretty obsessed with the band Earth during the pandemic, and that led to an obsession with other doom metal, and then I started buying lots of fuzz pedals and downloading distortion plugins online—basically just anything that would blow out my guitar sound and get it sounding somewhere in the deep and fuzzed out ballpark of the heavy music I was listening to. ‘I’d Get Along’ is sort of a Cloud Nothings take on that sound, where the guitar is big and bulky but there’s a really poppy vocal melody on top, and the drums are bouncy and rolling around the other instruments in their own idiosyncratic way.”
Cloud Nothings have also announced a lengthy North American headlining tour, see dates below.
