Under Pressure: How Nothing Balanced Creativity and Chaos to Make New Album

In the last installment of our three-part Nothing documentary, the Philly/NYC shoegazers dive deeper into what it took to create their new album, Dance on the Blacktop. See Domenic Palermo and Company discuss mining NYC bookstores for lyrical inspiration and explain why tracking under pressure is crucial to capturing the raw emotions and imperfections that were so important for this third record. Palermo also discusses the love/hate relationship he has with touring and speculates why he continues with such a physically and mentally destructive endeavor: "Maybe the reason is because I enjoy the connection I have with a large group of people who struggle day-to-day with the same ideas and thoughts that I do … maybe."
