Philadelphia (USA) based heavy-shoegazers Nothing will return on 24th August via Relapse Records with their third full-length installment, Dance On The Blacktop. The next chapter of Nothing's story pulls from all corners of life in its contents. Stories of self loathing, self destruction, and a general disdain for humanity and its, "insignificant" role in Domenic Palermo's vision of the universe are met with his poised amusement and tranquil hysteria being one himself.
Nothing sought out celebrated producer John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr, Breeders, Sonic Youth, Kurt Vile) to help accentuate the band's love for all sounds 90s, from rock to shoegaze to pop realms and on both sides of the pond. The next month was spent tracking at the historical Dreamland Studios in Woodstock, NY with newly appointed bassist Aaron Heard. As days moved by, Palermo spewed songs of heightened confusion, anxiety, paranoia, depression, and chronic battles with physical pain- a result of his unstable past and more recent illness. These themes, spoken in a lush angelic language are juxtaposed against the band's now signature apocalyptic, reverberating wall of shimmering sound, all captured beautifully by Agnello and the open room.
Nothing released now a stunning video for the track "Zero Day", taken from the upcoming album. Video was directed by Kevin Haus and you can watch it in the player below. Domenic Palermo comments on "Zero Day": "The amount of difficulty a person faces when attempting to close the door on all sense, meaning, or value when thinking on our existence is hard to put in words, but to me it has always been the latter. I've laid awake countless nights contemplating human life, its hostile uselessness, and why I'm one of the few who choose to see it that way yet manage to move onward. So I suppose in that sense "Zero Day" is a song of paradoxical enlightenment." Front cover artwork of the album was done by Mark McCoy, Domenic Palermo and Ryan Lowry, and you can see it below the video. Link
