Nothing have always been shoegaze outlaws—redefining the genre with grit, emotion, and existential fury. Born from Domenic “Nicky” Palermo’s Philly bedroom project in 2010, the band has evolved into a vessel for the full spectrum of human feeling: rage and melancholy, chaos and grace.
Their fifth album, a short history of decay (Run For Cover Records), is Nothing’s most expansive and honest work yet. With a powerhouse lineup—Doyle Martin, Bobb Bruno, Zachary Jones, and Cam Smith—Palermo and co-writer/producer Nicholas Bassett crafted a record that’s both colossal and intimate.
Tracks like “Cannibal World” and “Toothless Coal” push industrial shoegaze to brutal extremes, while “Purple Strings” and “The Rain Don’t Care” reveal a fragile, baroque beauty featuring harpist Mary Lattimore. Palermo describes the album as “a final chapter”—not an ending, but the resolution of a story that began with Guilty of Everything, closing a decade-long exploration of decay, time, and truth.
