Dylan Baldi, at the ripe old age of 22 has released his fourth full-length album, “Here & Nowhere Else”, out now and it cements his indie-darling status. It’s seriously all killer-no-filler, what does the future for his offshoot band Wavves. Cloud Nothings‘ new album is out now. Here and Nowhere Else mostly moves in one direction and at a breakneck pace; by playing just ahead of the beat, taking charge of the song with torrential fills, Gerycz does everything in his power to try and throw it off course. The insatiable drive and urgency of Here and Nowhere Else, as well as the resulting cohesion, means that it might initially appear less ambitious than previous album Attack on Memory. To call it a “grower” would be accurate, though that downplays its visceral jolt, as previous Cloud Nothings records revealed their high points fairly quickly; here, the initial sonic beating’s reflected in the unmistakable shades of purple, black, and blue-black in the resultant bruises.
