Philadelphia shoegaze icons NOTHING have announced their fifth studio album, ‘a short history of decay,’ arriving February 27 via Run For Cover Records. Described as their most expansive and emotionally raw work yet, the record finds frontman Domenic “Nicky” Palermo confronting aging, illness, and memory’s fragile weight with a disarming honesty. Backed by a revitalized lineup—featuring Doyle Martin (Cloakroom), Bobb Bruno (Best Coast), Zachary Jones (MSC, Manslaughter 777), and Cam Smith (Ladder To God, Cloakroom)—NOTHING have created an album that expands their industrial-gaze sound into something both immense and intimate. The band also shared the lead single and video, “cannibal world,” a haunting yet heavy glimpse into their new era.
To celebrate, NOTHING will headline their own festival, Slide Away, across multiple cities in North America. The event will mark the 10th anniversary of their landmark album ‘Tired of Tomorrow,’ with special guest performances from Hum, Chapterhouse, Swirlies, and more. With ‘a short history of decay,’ NOTHING continues to evolve the boundaries of modern shoegaze while cementing their legacy as one of the genre’s most fearless and emotionally resonant bands.
