Philadelphia shoegaze greats NOTHING have announced their new album, A Short History of Decay. Out February 27, the band’s fifth studio album stands as their most sonically expansive and emotionally direct work to date: a widescreen reckoning with time, truth, and the body’s slow unraveling.

Beginning as a Philly-born bedroom solo project in 2010, Nothing's music has always captured the full scale of the human condition, both the blaring anger and the whispering sadness. A Short History of Decay, the band's first for Run For Cover, widens that aperture even further, providing the most hi-def rendering of NOTHING to date. The band have never sounded this colossal, never felt this intimate, never been this honest.

Recharged by a newly solidified lineup featuring guitarist Doyle Martin (Cloakroom), bassist Bobb Bruno (Best Coast), drummer Zachary Jones (MSC, Manslaughter 777), and guitarist Cam Smith (Ladder To God, Cloakroom), A Short History of Decay captures frontman Domenic “Nicky” Palermo at his most unflinching, confronting aging, illness, and the weight of memory with startling clarity.

Alongside the announcement, NOTHING have shared the album’s first single and video, “Cannibal World,” a pulverizing statement of intent that fuses the band’s signature industrial-gaze intensity with the stark vulnerability that characterizes their best work.
