Friend World: Milky Clear Vinyl LP
12SUBC297Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Submarine Cat
Release Date: 6th November
Do Nothing follow a line of music, which I don't think anyone does better than the British and that's a kind of monochromatic cold pop but with the drippings of everyday life mutating into surrealism. It's the sound of David Sylvain's Japan, Bowie, Talk Talk and even the Beatles in their Strawberry Fields/Eleanor Rigby era.
Three years after the release of their debut album, Do Nothing return with their much anticipated sophomore, 'Friend World'. The Nottingham four piece consisting of Chris Bailey, Kasper Sandstrøm, Charlie Howarth, Andrew Harrison, emerge bolder, self-assured and more energetic than ever.
Lead single 'Stars' gives an insight into the upcoming LP, synth-laden with hypnotic riffs, meandering vocals and bouncing basslines. The single, already a fan favourite, paves the way for listeners to enter the 'Friend World' that Do Nothing have created. At first glance, the album is overflowing with hard hitting guitars, infectious rhythms and frontman Bailey's signature razor-sharp witted lyricism, but dive deeper into tracks such as These People Want Blood and standout track Loner, to find an alternative take on the album, representing a softer and more pensive side of the band's writing.
Friend World lands via Submarine Cat Records on 6th November.
