The brain behind the Cloud Nothings project - Dylan Baldi had made the imminent leap forward from DYI-bedroom production to recording his self-titled debut album in a professional studio. Two elements evident in Baldi's professional transition is his ability to create a hook and his unequivocal mastering of power-pop's essence. The Ohio native wrote the album in roughly a fortnight and teamed with Baltimore producer Chester Gwazda to put the concept on record.
Cloud Nothings are a Cleveland-based power-pop outfit, masterminded by 19-year old Dylan Baldi, who composes energetic tracks reminiscent of The Apples in Stereo and Matthew Sweet. The singer/songwriter is an example of a contemporary act, who holds a well- maintained balance between stylistic necessity and a keen tendency to experiment. With a diverse approach to composing, the Cloud Nothings are swiftly accelerating ahead of the power-pop norm and at this rate, are building a bright and noisy future.
