It has been made clear over the years and the course of three full lengths that currently there is no one better at heavy shoegaze than Philadephia's Nothing, whom we've already crowned with the AOTY honors twice, and whose impending full length, The Great Dismal, couldn't have sounded more promising and satisfying.
The Great Dismal releases on October 30th, 2020, via Relapse Records, and through the first couple of singles it has already shown the high level of maturity the band has achieved. The last single unveiled ahead of the album's release, Famine Asylum, is another piece of shoegaze rock nihilism, all heavy, grungy and right up the band's melancholic alley, with its massive and expansive instrumentals complemented Dominic Palermo's lyricism and exhaling delivery.
With no misses on them thus far, Nothing remain one of the best bands in the world at the moment, and express the worriedness and the existential dread of present times better than any other of their kind, and beyond.
