Shoegaze renegades who’ve rebuilt the stereotypically lightweight genre in their own bloodyknuckled American image. Outlaw poets spilling existential dread on mile-wide canvasses of fuzz and reverb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning as a Philly-born bedroom solo project in 2010, Nothing’s music has always captured the full scale of the human condition, both the blaring anger and the whispering sadness. a short history of decay, Nothing’s fifth solo album and first for Run For Cover Records, widens that aperture even further, providing the most hi-def rendering of Nothing to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band have never sounded this colossal, never felt this intimate, never been this honest.  With the strongest arsenal in Nothing’s ever-shifting lineup locked in -- guitarist Doyle Martin (Cloakroom), bassist Bobb Bruno (Best Coast), drummer Zachary Jones (MSC, Manslaughter 777), and third guitarist Cam Smith (Ladder To God, also of Cloakroom) -- singer-songwriter Domenic “Nicky” Palermo knew he had the manpower to make the band’s most ambitious record yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCo-written and produced with Whirr guitarist Nicholas Bassett, and with additional production and mixing work from Sonny Diperri (DIIV, Julie),\u003cem\u003e a short history of decay\u003c\/em\u003e, is the most evolved musical statement in Nothing’s catalog. Songs like “Cannibal World” and “Toothless Coal” are cataclysmic lashings of mechanized industrial-gaze that sound like My Bloody Valentine -- except more extreme.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the other end of the spectrum, the ornately morose “Purple Strings” boasts a beautiful string arrangement that includes harpist -- and two-time Nothing contributor -- Mary Lattimore. That baroque delicacy permeates other \u003cem\u003ea short history of decay\u003c\/em\u003e highlights, particularly “The Rain Don’t Care,” a lilting ballad that channels the worn-down elegance of Mojave 3, and also “Nerve Scales,” a pattering bop that resembles Radiohead in its marriage of otherworldly atmosphere and mortal precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalermo calls the new record “a final chapter.” Not the end of Nothing, but the conclusion of a story that began with Nothing’s 2014 debut, Guilty of Everything -- another album about time, regret, and confronting uncomfortable truths -- and now resolves with \u003cem\u003ea short history of decay,\u003c\/em\u003e. As much a snapshot of Palermo’s past as it is a leap into Nothing’s future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Never Come Never Morning\u003cbr\u003e2 Cannibal World\u003cbr\u003e3 A Short History of Decay\u003cbr\u003e4 The Rain Don't Care\u003cbr\u003e5 Purple Strings\u003cbr\u003e6 Toothless Coal\u003cbr\u003e7 Ballet of the Traitor\u003cbr\u003e8 Nerve Scales\u003cbr\u003e9 Essential Tremors\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secretly","offers":[{"title":"Ltd Ed X-Ray Smoke Vinyl","offer_id":47565886128302,"sku":"199438001526","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Indie Exclusive Candy Corn Vinyl (First Run Club)","offer_id":47565886161070,"sku":"199438001533","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/files\/RFC295.jpg?v=1772228757","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/nothing-a-short-history-of-decay-ltd-ed-x-ray-smoke-or-indie-exclusive-candy-corn-vinyl","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
