Today, Cloud Nothings releases the ten year anniversary reissue of their debut album Turning On via Carpark Records.

Reissued on vinyl with its original tracklist, the digital 10th anniversary deluxe edition includes all 13 tracks found in Carpark’s first edition of the album plus four new bonus live tracks. In conjunction with the release, the band is sharing a music video by bassist TJ Duke for the live rendition of “Can’t Stay Awake” that is featured on the deluxe edition.
