Nervous Cloud: Nervous Cloud

photo: Melody Fisher

Chicago indie rock duo Nervous Cloud are veterans in the Windy City music scene. Travis Lee Wiggins (vocals, guitar) & Sarah Sterling (drums, vocals) have played in various bands before joining forces in 2010. Their self-titled album has the rough-around-the-edges quirkiness of bands like The Replacements and Pavement, with a nod to Jonathan Richman and the Pixies.

Influences include the Sixties surf sound in Summer Of Love, melodic garage rock with a Western twist (How to Get Murdered in a Made for TV Movie), and the layered vocals approach of Phil Spector in the The Bigger Picture.

Nervous Cloud is a self-released album. Buy it from the band's website. They offer 51 free fun size" samples for use as ringtones, text messages and such.
