Review: Nothing People – Late Night
Nothing People – Late Night (2009) [S.S.] // Grade: A-
Welcome to a post-apocalypse world that’s terrifying and oddly beautiful all at once.

It isn’t easy to pen an album this temperamental in venturing of into some off-kilter and experimental corner, while keeping it this catchy and inviting but Nothing People do it and do it just so, so, well. It’s the sort of dark and eccentric rock that lives on the trippy fringes of Psychedelia, Garage and just old fashioned 90s Indie Rock… Exotic yet just familiar enough to keep your ears at ease.
One of the albums I’ve had on repeat in my playlist over the last couple of weeks, it just gets better and better with each listen. I can’t help to imagine that were Chrome to ever take a stab at writing a Pavement song, it’d sound magical and something just like this.
