"Cleveland-based songwriter Dylan Baldi, aka Cloud Nothings, cuts through his muddled grunge-pop with indomitable spirit-he always sounds like he just scored the winning three-pointer in a game of street ball even though half the time he's singing about malaise and annoyance. For the mix he made exclusively for the FADER, Baldi says, "It's songs that are good for just sitting and chillin while it's raining out on a summer night." He kicks his thesis off literally with the Cascades' "Rhythm of the Rain," and runs through a tight but playful selection of classics and atmospheric new joints suited for porch swing hand-holding and/or novella-reading. Get into the mood with his latest release and go see the full Cloud Nothings band on tour with current FADER cover star Wavves this summer-tracklist and tour dates after the jump."-Fader
