Cloud Nothings … Attack on Memory … 2012

This. Is. So. Good. I really liked Cloud Nothing’s previous work, but here they sound like they’ve grown into their sound. No longer glittery buzzing indie, now they’re getting grungier, dirtier, while remaining moody. Yeah. Think The Vines mixed with Nirvana and a dash of early Weezer. I would have been obsessed with this in middle school and I still love it!

Thee Oh Sees … Carrion Crawler/The Dream EP … 2011

Thee Oh Sees is sorta primo in the lo-fi indie seen right now… no big deal. This EP, I think, is more accessible than their jangly, rushed debut album. Heavy riffs and grooving bass lines drive this EP forward into the realm of decent music.
