I collaborate with the RIO!B’s Sami Jarroush on this review of the latest Cloud Nothings album.
While this new Avey Tare record has some sweet melodies on it, nearly every piece of instrumentation on this thing is burnt to a crisp with effects. A lot like the latest Animal Collective record, this album is a little overdone, and could have benefited from taking the more orthodox
