Cloud Nothings Put Together Mixtape Of Influences For New Album

The 30 minute mix contains among others Black Sabbath, The Wipers and Thin Lizzy.

Cloud Nothings have put together a mixtape of influences for their forthcoming album.

‘Attack On Memory’ - the band’s second full-length - was recorded with Steve Albini, and will come out on 6th February through Wichita Recordings.

The 8-track mixtape - which you can listen to below - was put together to give fans an insight into what the band were listening to whilst writing songs for it.

Of the selection, main man Dylan Baldi said: ‘I more or less memorized every guitar solo on the best Thin Lizzy albums, listened to only The Wipers for about 3 weeks, and fell asleep to Black Sabbath every night.’

‘This mix condenses my listening habits into an easily digestible “best of,” songs that strongly affected what I was thinking while writing my own music. Not to say that every song on ‘Attack On Memory’ sounds like Killdozer, but I do think that the influence of these particular tracks is often obvious, and hopefully sheds some light on why the new Cloud Nothings album sounds so different from any of the past recordings.’



01. Black Sabbath - Supernaut
02. Nina Hagen - Born In Xixax
03. Killdozer - The Pig Was Cool
04. Zounds - This Land
05. Thin Lizzy - For Those Who Love To Live
06. The Wipers - No One Wants An Alien
07. Bitch Magnet - Navajo Ace
08. Swell Maps - The Helicopter Spies
