Interview with Beautiful Nothing – Sleep Walk

by Joshua (J.Smo) Smotherman February 1, 2018 10:02 am

Beautiful Nothing

Musically, an eighties ignited sphere of driving electronics, thick, grimace-inducing bass lines and soaring, dissonant guitar lines that would speak to the Pixies in their Bossanova years. Lyrically, the songs are an ode to youthful exuberance, sex, burning cities, ghosts and relationships past. Vocal leads casually pushing through like Edwynn Collins when he found his […]
