Philadelphia shoegaze outfit NOTHING have announced their new album, a short history of decay. It’s set for release on February 27 via Run for Cover, and the frenetically expansive lead single ‘cannibal world’ is out today alongside a Ben Ditto-directed video. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.
Following 2020’s The Great Dismal, a short history of decay marks the band’s fifth LP and first for Run for Cover. When their last album was released, frontman Domenic “Nicky” Palermo thought the group might have reached its natural conclusion, but then life happened and “the feeling of wanting to do it resurfaced,” according to a press release. They recorded the new album at the legendary Texas studio Sonic Ranch, “drinking like it was the apocalypse every night – and all day I guess, pretty much,” in Palermo’s words.
“Between the point of clarity and this overwhelming sense of honesty within myself,” Palermo reflected. “This feels like an exact full circle moment to that first record.”
