NOTHING’s third full-length recording, Dance On The Blacktop, is the next chapter in the band’s tumultuous story and like its predecessors, pulls from all corners of life with a focus on the bleak and despairing. Captured by renowned producer John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Kurt Vile) at Dreamland Studio in Woodstock, NY, Dance On The Blacktop is a stirring collection of songs accentuating the band’s love for all sounds 90s from both sides of the pond; from alternative rock and shoegaze to the realms of pop and post-punk. Across the course of 45 minutes, NOTHING weave together nine tales of heightened confusion, anxiety, paranoia, depression and chronic pain juxtaposed against angelic yet apocalyptic, reverberating walls of shimmering sound. Dance On The Black Top is a fervent, emotional tour-de-force, the sound of a band at the peak of their individuality.
One of the best songs they have made in my opinion. To me this is all about loss both external and internal like when you are so deep in depression that you feel empty as grief can do to you also having that completely lost feeling of not having a clue who you are. If you combined grief, depression and loneliness that's such a fucked situation having been there i know. Being lonely is so hard year after year and the health affects are extremely frightening. Not trying to get no sympathy or nada just i really love nothing for the fact they tackle awhole lot of shit I've been through thank you for reading.
I initially dismissed Nothing as a kind of an OK shoegaze revival band but they really have some heavy lyrical themes. Dominic has been through some shit for sure
