I did, for the first time, listen to The Wipers, about a year ago, and they've since become one of my favorite bands. They were a huge influence on this record, and they have some heavier moments. And I guess I've always listened to music that is heavier, but I've never chosen to be influenced by it in what I'm writing. (...) [T]hey've influenced the songwriting, just in that I really structured those songs exactly in the way Greg Sage structures his songs. The way it flows from one part to the next is really Wipers-y. And also I got really into his guitar tone, and the way he plays guitar, and I think I may have picked up some of that. That's on our record, too.
{{cite web}}: Missing or empty |title= (help)It reminds me of, during that time, I was basically trying to be The Wipers. That was my goal as a human—to make Wipers albums. And I wasn't really capable of doing that, but this is our take on that. It has that darkness to it, but the chorus is this big celebratory thing. To me it is a single, or could have been but isn't as obviously melodic I guess. (...) Because like I said, I was just trying to rip off the Wipers for two years of my life. I even went as far as buying guitars and amps that I saw photos of Greg Sage using in the '70s and '80s. And this was kind of like me saying I can have these influences but I can make something where someone says "that sounds like Cloud Nothings" rather than just trying to copy another band.
Recently I've been going back to the music I used to listen to 10 or so years ago and seeing which stuff I still really enjoy. I feel like those albums are the ones that really stuck with me and influenced me, whether I was really aware of it or not. Some of them are The Forms – The Forms, Life Without Buildings – Any Other City, Women – Public Strain, No Age – Weirdo Rippers, and Deerhunter – Cryptograms.
