Here And Nowhere Else

Pitchfork 8.7/10 Cloud Nothings' latest album moves in one direction and at a breakneck pace. Dylan Baldi is simply unwilling or unable to stop writing hook-filled songs, rendering Here and Nowhere Else even more tense and thrillingly conflicted than its predecessor.

Under The Radar 7.0/10 Cleveland's Cloud Nothings return, following up the Steve Albini-produced Attack on Memory with a John Congleton-produced Here and Nowhere Else.

Slant 4/5 Here and Nowhere Else is defined by the sound of raw energy giving way to coherence and control.
