Sparking elements of Nineties emo, art-rock and grunge, Attack On Memory is an exhilarating listen.»

Just a year after their eponymous debut, Cloud Nothings, the Cleveland, Ohio-based group fronted by Dylan Baldi are set to return with a stunning new album, ‘Attack on Memory’ on February 6th, 2012. If that’s not enough, the album was produced by the king of noise rock, Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, Manic Street Preachers, and PJ Harvey). The pairing has resulted in a record that’s a huge step forward for the band: more experimental, more varied, but still accessible, taking in post-rock, indie, post-punk and some sheer, unadulterated noise. When we say there are some heavy moments, we mean HEAVY moments, like the nine-minute 'Wasted Days' and the growling 'No Sentiment'.
