No Thyself

Magazine

A sophisticated return to form where jagged post-punk edges meet the weary wisdom of age. Sharp, literate, and drenched in icy synthesizers.

It's the smartest, most cynical late-night record you'll ever actually want to dance to.

A sophisticated, world-weary intelligence that finds dark humor in existential isolation.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the synth line in 'Do the Meaning' sneaks in like a ghost from 1979 before the bass kicks the door down.
Howard Devoto's weary but razor-sharp delivery on 'Hello Mister Curtis' as he addresses the ghosts of rock and roll.
The unexpected, elegant sway of 'Final Analysis Waltz' that feels like a slow dance at the end of the world.
