Limited hand-numbered edition of 250 copies in white paper sleeves from the label that brought you the Best Coast Make You Mine 7”. Cloud Nothings play a particularly euphoric and addictive take on high-energy DIY, with aspects of gods of dunder like The Scrotum Poles/Swell Maps et al but with a more USA garage pop appeal. Recommended.

Hard to think of any contemporary American group that has such an instinctive grasp of melodic DIY garage euphorics as Cloud Nothings. Their stripped-down take on post-punk song is as inspired as the Scrotum Poles and as beautifully ramshackle as anything by Index. At points on Turning On they sound like a more garage/Modern Lovers-damaged take on the Postcard sound but there are also aspects of Half Japanese, The Dovers and Bleib Alien. LP comes with a download coupon. On coloured vinyl. Recommended.
