Cloud Nothings are back. The follow up to 2014's Here And Nowhere Else, Life Without Sound is a massive leap forward and statement in sound and song. For more than a year, Baldi was able to write these songs and flesh out them out with his bandmates - drummer Jayson Gerycz and bassist TJ Duke - before they finally joined producer John Goodmanson (Sleater Kinney, Death Cab for Cutie) at Sonic Ranch in El Paso, Texas, for three weeks in March of 2016. The result is Baldi's most polished and considered work to date, an album that speaks to his evolving gift with melody while also betraying the sort of perspective that time provides. You can hear it in the aerodynamic guitar pop of Modern Act, and feel it in the devastating wisdom of Internal World, a lullaby-like howler that dwells on "the fact that being yourself can be uncomfortable and even potentially dangerous at times."
