Setta and Palermo would handle the writing for the next release, a very rare 12" EP that was released on Japanese boutique label Big Love Records called Suns and Lovers. It was limited to 300 copies and the band's share was donated back to the label for a Tsunami Relief Charity.
The next release was the Downward Years to Come EP, which was recorded at the Rubber Tracks Studio in Brooklyn with Kyle "Slick" Johnson. The record was released by Baltimore Label A389 Records in November 2012. The record was written by Palermo and Setta. The concept behind Downward Years to Come was a dedication to several different poets who had taken their own lives.
Setta and Palermo would again head into the studio in 2013, this time with Jeff Zeigler at Uniform Recordings to write their first album and sign with Relapse Records. The debut album Guilty of Everything was released on March 4, 2014.
As a result of touring together, members of Nothing and the shoegaze band Whirr formed a gothic rock / post-punk side project called Death of Lovers. Nick Bassett, lead guitarist and songwriter of Whirr, joined Nothing as the bassist from 2014-2017. Aaron Heard is the current bassist for Nothing, joining the band in 2017.
Nothing released a Whirr / Nothing split November 17th, 2014 on Run for Cover Records. The second LP entitled Tired of Tomorrow was released May 13, 2016 on Relapse Records. The third LP Dance on the Blacktop was released August 24, 2018 on Relapse Records.
In early 2019, founding member Brandon Setta departed the group due to personal issues and was replaced by Cloakroom guitarist and vocalist, Doyle Martin. Nothing released their fourth album The Great Dismal via Relapse Records on October 30, 2020; the first to feature Doyle Martin as well as bassist Aaron Heard.

2) Nothing is a dark ambient / noise / experimental side-project of Jason William Walton (Agalloch, Especially Likely Sloth) with guest appearances from a few others on each new release.
Since the mid '90s they have released four albums, various compilation appearances and a few limited releases as well as a handful of live performances . Each release exploring a different theme, a different style and a different approach, and never being content with what they have achieved.
Becoming increasingly disillusioned with the experimental, noise and power electronics scene that Nothing found itself in, and after the Cobra-live-performance fiasco, Walton gave up on Nothing. In 2008 Walton said "2008 presents me with a new situation, and leaves me inspired. I am reinventing Nothing once again.."

Why we exist... there is hope out there. We're stuck in a Social Psycle world of orange dumb arse teenage girls that drink stupid amounts, puke it all over the streets then f**kin' Facebook it. We're lost in a Social Psycle world where a musician is now defined as a dude who smacks some keys on his £1000 Apple Mac.

'Killer!'
Our Plague
Nothing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Paint my picture
Interlocking tightly
Candles flicker
Trembling hands of mercy
They will not
Sing for me
Promise I could make it on my own
Throwing flowers at her
My worst behavior
Change my tired patterns
If you could change yours as well
Promise I could make it alone
The lyrics of the song "Our Plague" by Nothing expresses a strong sense of loneliness and helplessness. The first two lines "Water colored fingers, paint my picture" is a metaphor for the fragility of life that is prone to be destroyed just like a watercolor picture. The next line "Interlocking tightly, candles flicker" is a metaphor for the strength of interpersonal relationships that still waver and weaken over time.
The next set of lines "Trembling hands of mercy, they will not sing for me, promise I could make it on my own" gives the impression of pleading for help from others. The hands of mercy represent the people who the singer thinks will support them, but instead, they refuse to help. The last line of the stanza "Promise I could make it on my own" shows the singer wanting to be independent but fails to receive the help needed.
In the following stanza, the lyrics "Throwing flowers at her, My worst behavior, Change my tired patterns, If you could change yours as well" is the singer pleading for forgiveness and trying to make amends. The singer acknowledges their flaws and is willing to change for the better, and hopes that the other person will do the same.
Line by Line Meaning
Water colored fingers
My fingers are stained with the colors of life, representing my experiences and struggles
Paint my picture
Capture my essence and identity through my struggles and experiences
Interlocking tightly
Embracing vulnerability and forming strong bonds with those who share similar experiences and struggles
Candles flicker
The fleeting nature of life and the constant struggle to find meaning and purpose in the darkness
Trembling hands of mercy
The kindness and compassion of those who hold my hands through my struggles, despite their own fears and uncertainties
They will not
My supporters and caretakers will not abandon me, even when things seem impossible
Sing for me
Even though they won't give up on me, I am unable to hear their hopeful messages and gain strength from them
Promise I could make it on my own
I try to convince myself that I don't need anyone's help or support, but deep down I know it's not true
Throwing flowers at her
Trying to impress someone with superficial gestures, without truly connecting with them or understanding their struggles
My worst behavior
Recognizing my own flaws and shortcomings, and how they can push people away when I need them the most
Change my tired patterns
Breaking free from old habits and ways of thinking that are no longer beneficial or productive for me
If you could change yours as well
Asking for help and understanding from others, and hoping that they can also learn and grow alongside me
Promise I could make it alone
Still clinging to the hope that I can handle everything on my own, even as I recognize the importance of relationships and support

Awesome Album it sounds like twenty of my favorite 1990s heroin bands all combined wih a clean crisp indie rock sound that reminds me of Modest Mouse or a faint almost ethereal spiritual bond with Grunge Dog Star Gazer magic dust sprinkled in
