Turning On

Cloud Nothings

Blown-out drum machines and sugar-sweet melodies buried under layers of basement hiss. A jittery, lo-fi pop record that feels like a humid summer afternoon.

November 2009 · Carpark Records

A jittery, sun-drenched anxiety masked by infectious pop melodies and basement fuzz.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, distorted drum machine kick that anchors the title track's fuzzy melody.
The way the vocals on 'Hey Cool Kid' fight through a thick layer of static to deliver a perfect pop hook.
The repetitive, hypnotic guitar jangle that closes out the extended outro of 'Water Turns Back'.
