Cloud Nothings

Considered the king of the geeks on the music scene, Dylan Baldi is an anemic-looking young singer/songwriter with a penchant for oversized Hawaiian shirts and notorious for giving fast-talking, awkward interviews. However, when Baldi steps behind the mic for his band Cloud Nothings (which he writes/records all the music for and just recruits friends to help him out at live performances), he impresses audiences with his quirky speed garage-pop that's clearly influenced by 1990s punk rock. After signing to the Animal Collective-run label Carpark Records, Baldi began receiving tremendous buzz on the indie scene and has since built a solid fan base.
