NOTHING - Guilty of Everything LP (Gold Nugget vinyl)

Label: Relapse

Philadelphia, PA's Nothing has been destroying the eardrums of audiences throughout North America for the past two years with a magnetic blend of captivatingly dark and beautiful vocals and explosive, blown-out, in-the-red guitar fuzz. On their debut full-length, "Guilty Of Everything," recorded and produced by Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile, War On Drugs, etc.), Nothing seamlessly merges the huge, distorted guitar sound of '90s/'00s alternative-rock giants My Bloody Valentine and Smashing Pumpkins with Jesu's introspective post-metal/hardcore. This is a triumph of a debut that successfully manages to be massively loud, darkly introspective, and totally beautiful all at once.
