Cloud Nothings announce new album 'Final Summer,' share new track "Running Through The Campus"
Cleveland indie rock band Cloud Nothings will deliver their eighth studio album this April.
Announced today, Final Summer will gain an April 19 release via Pure Noise Records. The 10-track album, which will include the previously released title track, will follow the band’s 2021 release The Shadow I Remember. The release was recorded with Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile, The War On Drugs, Torres, Purling Hiss), mixed by Sarah Tudzin (boygenius, Tim Heidecker, Pom Pom Squad), and mastered by Jack Callahan (Ryley Walker, Merchandise, Wolf Eyes). A new song from the release titled “Running Through The Campus” comes with a music video directed by Errick Easterday, which can be seen below.
Vocalist Dylan Baldi said this about the new song:
"I run through a college campus near my house just about every day. Occasionally it's after dark when I end up there, and the emptiness of it at night stands in stark contrast to the hectic and crowded early mornings. 'Running through the Campus' is about an intrusive thought I can have on those late-night runs, about whether or not it's slightly depressing that I'm out running around alone while everyone else is gone and actually doing something, probably with other people. The song describes my mindset at the start of my run, goes into a reckoning with and acceptance of the late night loneliness, and ends on a positive note about just doing the things that make you feel good and not getting bogged down in comparisons."
