Nothing – “Amber Gambler”
Nothing, pioneers of the heavy music to shoegaze pipeline, have announced The Great Dismal B-Sides, a collection of tracks recording during the sessions for the Philadelphia band’s 2020 album The Great Dismal. It will include three brand new songs: “The Great Dismal,” “Amber Gambler,” and a cover of the Delfonics’ “La La Means I Love You.”
“The world disparity and surreal circumstances that occupied all corners of life while attempting to write and record this album were so overly animated that the songs couldn’t help but be contaminated,” says frontman Domenic Palermo. “Trimming away at the layers to negotiate with time felt akin to ripping out whole chapters out of a novel. The reasoning behind having this be physically released in the first place, and a big part we left the title track off was to make that eventual and necessary connection.”
Today, Nothing are sharing “Amber Gambler,” which comes with a Ben Rayner-directed video following a couple of the run from the law. Watch and listen below.
