A Short History Of Decay And Ruin (Run For Cover Records) is Nothing‘s fifth album. It opens with a more organic feel as a new level of vulnerability is exposed with the strum of an acoustic guitar and the vocals stepping out from behind the indifferent haze of effects. A clever way to lure you into this album, it gives the impresion Domenic has stepped away from Shoegaze into some kind of Emo/Indie Rock, but by the time you get to the second song and lead single “Cannibal World,” it’s clear to see this is not the case, but he is still toying with the expectations of what Shoegaze can be as a break beat drum sample keeps the song moving. Yet the main vibe that consumes the overall sound is a return to the woozy swirl of My Bloody Valentine-influenced guitars.
