Do Nothing

It’s been three years since Nottingham’s Do Nothing released their critically-acclaimed debut album Snake Sideways, but it’s taken until now for them to find the catharsis that’s usually expected from such a landmark.

Described to the press as “a self-referential freak-out about pressure”, the band were still processing that album’s creation as they careened from BBC Radio 6 airwaves to UK stages, European festivals, and SXSW in the States after its release.

” With the band on a fresh path, Do Nothing embraced the freedom to explore different sounds, themes, and even “things that are a bit daft” with enthusiasm. Friend World, the band's sophomore effort, draws from the dark recesses of the universal life experience.

The album forefronts introversion, awkward social interaction, and even self-deprecation and self-destruction. Out 6th November. The Thekla is Bristol's only music venue and nightclub on a boat!
