Dance On The Blacktop is Nothing’s third studio album, produced by John Agnello (Kurt Vile, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr.) and inspired by 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” - say no more, fam. Once you get past the ultimate creepfest that is the album cover, Dance On The Blacktop is actually quite easy to slip into… sweet Robin Guthrie-esque guitar trills cascade into supple wall-of sound chords reminiscent of White Pony-era Deftones, and frontman Dominic Palermo’s saccharine vocals sit cozy down in the mix like a less druggy My Bloody Valentine. This’ll be a good fall/winter record for sure. Bone (“flesh”) colored vinyl pressing housed in gatefold jacket with printed lyric insert and download code, limited to 500 copies.
