WATCH: Nothing "Chloroform" - Nothing and Whirr are two bands with an especially entwined history; Whirr's Nick Bassett also doubles as the bassist in Nothing and one can hear how the bands have influenced each other. The two bands have also toured together extensively, sometimes combining their amps to deliver the most devastating aural barrages imaginable. Their split release, available today through Run For Cover, marks the first time the bands have formally commemorated their history together. Furthermore, Nothing are sharing the music video for new single "Chloroform" which appears alongside the previously shared "July The Fourth" as well as Whirr singles "Ease" and "Lean". Watch the video above and scroll down to check out Nothing's remaining European tour dates. About the Whirr/Nothing split: The long-anticipated split by WHIRR and NOTHING is in no way a let down to anyone that's been waiting for it. The two new songs from each band are perfected with the expertise of veteran producer Will Yip. Whirr's signature atmospheric haze enthralls more than ever in what seems like a nine-minute dream. Their masterful control of soundscapes is matched only by an intensity that their shoegazing predecessors could only wish to achieve. Nothing's contribution is a full-on aural assault: the two songs are aggressive, yet harmonious.The ongoing blown-out barrage lulls with only brief periods of quiet melody that hit like armistices. Yet, the songs are harshly beautiful in a way that perfectly captures the Philadelphia band's definition of reality. The split 12" comes with an etched b-side as well as a full-length Whirr/Nothing 'In The Studio' documentary DVD.
