Stay Useless - Cloud Nothings


I know that there isn't a real video for this one, but I haven't been able to stop listening to this cut from their new LP for a month straight. The Cloud Nothings decided to take a much more aggressive approach on the most recent album, and to their credit it worked magnificently. The pop-punk aspect of songs like Stay Useless appear throughout Attack on Memory, though much of the album is focused on more brutal, deep, percussion lead, beats which de-emphasize the role of the choruses in keeping a song together. While Stay Useless seems to deviate from that trend by using such a simplified, catchy chorus, it allows the Cloud Nothings to show their creativity in the bridges, letting their hooks sink in deep enough to keep you coming back for more. Personally, I can't wait to see how these guys continue to develop. While their sound might come off as a bit messy at first, a few listens will have you realizing just how well these guys know what they're doing and yearning to get into a pit and dance your ass off.
