Cloud Nothings have a new album releasing July 3 called The Black Hole Understands. The group will be releasing the album on Bandcamp, which according to Pitchfork, coincides with the platform’s day of waiving its fees to help artists through the COVID-19 pandemic. The band wrote and recorded the new album remotely while self-isolating, finishing the tracks over email. A 25% cut of the proceeds from album sales will go to nonprofit organizations Play On Philly and the Rainey Institute, which both focus on music education.

The band’s frontman Dylan Baldi recently announced a new demo collection titled Enemy At Home, which featured songs that were intended to be on a solo studio record.

Baldi provided fans a download link via twitter while tweeting “here’s a little batch of songs i made last year with the intent of turning them into an album, but they never got past their current very lo-fi state. there’s a couple gems in here.”
