Cloud Nothings’ UK debut album proper confirms Dylan Baldi as another expert exponent of lo fi, infectious clatter pop, and he joins a seemingly inexhaustible flow of classic indie revivalists from across the pond. On last year’s collection of singles and demos Turning On Baldi showcased his unerring ability to write short, sharp, hook-laden songs, couched in a pleasing lo fi fug. If anything this new record is more polished than its predecessor with production values turned up a notch, however the hooks remain and make him a more instantly listenable proposition than former peers such as Japandroids and Beach Fossils. A joyous and accessible blast of energy.
