In 2009,Cleveland鈥檚 Dylan Baldi began writing and recording lo-fi power-pop songs in his parents鈥� basement, dubbing the project Cloud Nothings. His music quickly started making the Internet rounds, gaining fans and impressing critics. Baldi soon released a string of 7s, a split cassette and an EP before putting out 鈥淭urning On,鈥� a compilation spanning about a year鈥檚 worth of work, on Carpark in 2010. January 2011 saw the release Cloud Nothings鈥� self-titled debut LP, which, put next to 鈥淭urning On,鈥� found Baldi cleaning up his lo-fi aesthetic, pairing his tales of affinitive confusion with a more pristine aural clarity. In the interval since the release of 鈥淐loud Nothings,鈥� Baldi has toured widely and put a great deal of focus on his live show, a detail that heavily shapes the music of 鈥淎ttack on Memory.鈥�
