Philadelphia shoegaze greats Nothing announce their new album, A Short History of Decay. Out Friday 27 February via Run For Cover Records/Civilians, the band’s fifth studio album stands as their most sonically expansive and emotionally direct work to date: a widescreen reckoning with time, truth, and the body’s slow unravelling.
Recharged by a newly solidified line-up featuring guitarist Doyle Martin (Cloakroom), bassist Bobb Bruno (Best Coast), drummer Zachary Jones (MSC, Manslaughter 777), and guitarist Cam Smith (Ladder To God, Cloakroom), A Short History of Decay captures frontman Domenic “Nicky” Palermo at his most unflinching, confronting aging, illness, and the weight of memory with startling clarity.
Alongside today’s announcement, Nothing have shared the album’s first single and Ben Ditto-directed music video, cannibal world, featuring visuals by Berlin-based artist Icysaw.
