Cleveland pop snots Cloud Nothings’ anticipated self-titled Carpark debut blitzes through 11 songs in 28 minutes. So far you’ve heard the bubbling, fuzzed opener “Understand It All.” The new full-band stuff doesn’t remind me much of Lync beyond the occasional guitar sound. Instead it’s the Descendents being covered by early ’90s feedbacking twee-pop crew, Crayon — especially on “Not Important,” the track that bridges the aforementioned opener and this one, the mellower “Should Have” (which is more Crayon and Wimp Factor 14 than Descendents).
Slumberland did it successfully — maybe it’s time for a Harriet revival?
Cloud Nothings is out 1/25 via Carpark. It’s out a day earlier in the UK via Wichita.

These are all references that I understand, thanks for that very clear, not-condescending-at-all point of reference for what this song sounds like!
You’re welcome. I don’t see why it’s a bad thing — If you don’t know the bands I mentioned, a quick Google search will show you what they sound like, and you’ll learn about a couple new groups (that you may end up enjoying).
Have you heard their song Waiting?

Wayy catchier chorus. Cloud Nothings is talented!
Well, they’re a million times better than the Cloud Room…troll!
Um, troll? Like I said, I like both Cloud Nothings songs. I haven’t listened to Cloud Room, or any other cloud bands for that matter, for like eight years.
“they’re a million times better than the Cloud Room”. Oh please. That’s just being a tool. The Cloud room only made one good song, but it was one helluva good song.
As for Cloud Nothings, the ep’s were decent, but my socks are still on.
