Nothing has always been a rule-breaker. Shoegaze renegades who have reformatted the stereotypically lightweight genre according to their own hard-hitting American model. Lawless poets who spill existential angst over kilometer-wide soundscapes of fuzz and reverb. What started as a bedroom-based solo project in Philadelphia in 2010 has always captured the entire human condition – both the ear-shattering rage and the whispering sorrow.
A Short History of Decay, Nothing's fifth studio album and the first on the record label Run For Cover Records, widens the perspective further and offers the most high-resolution version of Nothing to date. The band has never sounded so monumental, never felt so intimate, and never been so honest.
With the strongest lineup in Nothing's constantly changing roster in place – Doyle Martin (Cloakroom) on guitar, Bobb Bruno (Best Coast) on bass, Zachary Jones on drums, and third guitarist Cam Smith (Ladder To God, also from Cloakroom) – singer and songwriter Domenic 'Nicky' Palermo knew he had the resources to create the band's most ambitious album to date.
The album is co-written and produced with Whirr guitarist Nicholas Bassett, with additional production and mixing by Sonny Diperri (DIIV, Julie). A Short History of Decay is the most developed musical statement in Nothing's catalog. Songs like "Cannibal World" and "Toothless Coal" are catastrophic discharges of mechanized industrial-shoegaze that sound like My Bloody Valentine – only more extreme.
At the other end of the spectrum is the exquisitely melancholic "Purple Strings", with a beautiful string arrangement that also includes harpist Mary Lattimore, who has previously contributed to two Nothing projects. The baroque elegance characterizes several of the album's highlights, particularly "The Rain Don't Care", a floating ballad that evokes the worn beauty of Mojave 3, and "Nerve Scales", a driving pop song that recalls Radiohead through its combination of extraterrestrial atmosphere and human precision.
Palermo describes the new album as "a final chapter". Not the end of Nothing, but the conclusion of a story that began with the debut album Guilty of Everything from 2014 – another album about time, regret, and confronting uncomfortable truths – and which now finds its resolution in A Short History of Decay. A work that both functions as a snapshot of Palermo's past and as a step into Nothing's future.
