Ahead of the release of their new album and launch of their upcoming tour dates, Nothing kicks off 2026 with their new single "toothless coal," the latest offering from their forthcoming album A Short History of Decay, out Friday 27th February via Run For Cover Records/Civilians.

"toothless coal" complements their previously released singles "cannibal world" and "purple strings" by showcasing a grinding industrial side of the band that sits closer to genre stalwarts My Bloody Valentine vs. the Madchester-indebted baggy sound of "cannibal world" and the stripped-down, acoustic guitar-led track “purple strings,” where the band’s typical vocal filters are absent. Always exploring new ways to bend sound and pushing the limits of genre conventions, these three singles lay the foundation for the wide-ranging sound that defines Nothing's upcoming album. Due next month, the band’s fifth studio album stands as their most sonically expansive and emotionally direct work to date: a widescreen reckoning with time, truth, and the body’s slow unraveling.

Recharged by a newly solidified lineup featuring guitarist Doyle Martin (Cloakroom), bassist Bobb Bruno (Best Coast), drummer Zachary Jones (MSC, Manslaughter 777), and guitarist Cam Smith (Ladder To God, Cloakroom), A Short History of Decay captures frontman Domenic “Nicky” Palermo at his most unflinching, confronting aging, illness, and the weight of memory with startling clarity.
