Cloud Nothings have announced a new studio album, last summerand shared his latest single, “Running Through the Campus.”
Due April 19 last summer is Cloud Nothings' first release on Pure Noise Records and marks their ninth or tenth album “depending on how you look at it”, according to the band's Dylan Baldi. Speaking about the album's themes, Baldi said: “It's about feeling good in the moment. A lot of these songs ended up being about getting ahead or trying to keep getting better despite everything.”
To that end, he cites Cloud Nothings' constant drive to make new music as a major factor in last summerSound. “I just like doing things,” Baldi said. “I love having something I've made at the end of the day, even if it's just a song. It's like proof that my day happened. “I'm always trying to refine what we do, which is making songs that take you from one place to another.”
The single, “Running Through the Campus,” follows the previously released title track and features the band’s signature sound, stacking layers of guitars beneath fluid vocal hooks. Speaking about the song, Baldi explained that he was inspired by his daily run around a nearby college campus.
“Occasionally, it is already dark when I get there, and the emptiness of the night contrasts sharply with the hectic, crowded early mornings,” Baldi said. “'Running Around Campus' is about an intrusive thought I might have on those late-night runs, about whether or not it's a little depressing to be running alone while everyone else is away and doing something, probably with others. people. The song describes my mindset at the beginning of my career, discusses and embraces nighttime loneliness, and ends on a positive note about simply doing the things that make you feel good and not getting bogged down in comparisons.”
“Running Through the Campus” arrived with a music video directed by Errick Easterday, which you can watch below. Pre-orders for last summer are in progress.
