When they came into the XPN studios to record their World Cafe session, local shoegazers Nothing played a delicate acoustic cover of “Joey” by Concrete Blonde. But rather than keep the cover in audio form, the band decided to back it with a homemade video.
Splicing together clips of the band members’ Instagram stories from their recent tour in Europe, the result is a five-minute collaged look into Nothing’s daily life on tour, which includes a lot of post-show partying that, though probably quite loud in real life, takes on a dreamy, ethereal feel when paired with the soft acoustic song.
