CLOSED CASKET ACTIVITIES
Nothing’s wistful shoegaze and Full Of Hell’s grind cataclysm collide on this experimental but accessible album. Born of a friendship cultivated at shows in the 2010s, FOH screamer Dylan Walker and Nothing’s Domenic Palermo shared ideas over the years before both outfits finally converged in the studio. Swaying from shoegaze to sludge, the bands’ respective hallmarks are recontextualised in a refreshing departure. Spend The Grace epitomises their vision: the atmospheric swell of post-rock riffs landing with a harsher crunch, and Domenic’s croons desecrated by Dylan’s screams. When No Birds Sang is a dreamlike collaboration with a nightmarish capacity.
