Philadelphia shoegaze band Nothing has released a new single, 'Never Come Never Morning,' ahead of their upcoming album. The track marks a departure from their usual sound, featuring acoustic guitar and orchestral elements. The album A Short History Of Decay arrives on February 27 via Run For Cover.
Nothing, a shoegaze band based in Philadelphia, is set to release their new album A Short History Of Decay on February 27 through Run For Cover Records. The album represents an expansion of the band's sound, incorporating diverse influences and collaborations.
Frontman Nicky Palermo assembled a lineup that includes Doyle Martin and Cam Smith from Cloakroom, Bobb Bruno from Best Coast, and Zachary Jones from Manslaughter 777. Palermo co-produced the record with Nicholas Bassett of Whirr at the Sonic Ranch in Texas. Prior singles from the album include 'Cannibal World,' 'Purple Strings,' and 'Toothless Coal.'
The latest single, 'Never Come Never Morning,' offers a starry-eyed psychedelic vibe, built on acoustic guitar strums and swelling strings-and-horns crescendos. This approach contrasts with Nothing's signature triumphant shoegaze style, potentially signaling an evolution in their music or a demonstration of their versatility. The track is available to stream now.
Nothing's history as a shoegaze institution underscores their role in the genre, and this release highlights their willingness to explore new directions while maintaining their core identity.
