Cloud Nothings just dropped their newest record, Attack on Memory. You've probably seen it pasted up on Pitchfork.  A quality work.  Intentionally different than the amazing Turning On or other various singles, rawer as the band wanted, less fuzz, less Pop, more...emo, in the least onoxious way...like the Nirvana/Pixies ethos others are using as a comparison point.  Sounds like Albini actually did have an influence, although they claim he was totally hands-off, attributing his sound to the the room all his bands record in.  The album's short, so the rawness doesn't wear.  I'd say a solid evolution from 2011's self titled.  While I have a huge soft spot for Turning On (seriously, one of the best albums of the past few years), this will suffice nicely. 

The catchiest, most traditional Cloud Nothings song off the new LP: Stay Useless. 

For those of you who crave something old, with a twist:  Memoryhouse remix of Hey Cool Kid, arguably the band's most visible hit.  Not usually a fan of remixes, but this one has a cool funk lope, slowed down, sticky bass...just click play and space.

Which brings me to Memoryhouse.  Just discovered her.  Great cover of the Zombies' This Will Be Our Year (a song my wife and I used in our wedding) here.  Some light mellotron, some fuzz guitar, and a pretty voice.
