Nothing continues their beady sights on 90's UK pop to cultivate a shimmering update on the gazey soundscapes of time's past. Seamlessly flitting between breathless wonderment and a laconic lull, Downward Years to Come (the second EP, a 12" on A389 Records) is shared songwriting 'tween Dominic Palermo and Brandon Setta. It coaxes four tracks of thrumming, dreamless indie-rock categorized by undulating song structures, effervescent chimes and lockstep pounding rhythms softly driving themselves into the soft white ether of the listening brain.
Dewey-eyed wonder and blissful misanthropy are all encapsulated in the microscopic in-betweens. The dazzling dichotomies of life and death. God, drugs, sex, retro and (lord willing) a catastrophic apocalypse can all be found.
Nothing give all, arms abreast and cheeks aglow to the present. To the future and to the downward years sure to come.
