Atlanta-based darkwave act Now After Nothing is bringing classic influences and modernized electronic instrumentals to the present-day crowd. Frontman and multi-instrumentalist Matt Spatial brings masterful expertise to the expansive project and it’s evident in the dynamic collection of tracks that cover a vast selection of genres from punk to industrial and new wave. The influences from Bauhaus, The Cure, My Bloody Valentine, and Sonic Youth shine as he seamlessly enmeshes the best parts of those artists into a new iteration of seductive, introspective, and mesmerizing goth tracks for the next generation. Spatial intricately weaves social, political, and personal narratives within the instrumentals to add depth and darkness that resonates with lost and misunderstood souls.
Now After Nothing released their debut EP, “Artificial Ambivalence” in September 2024. The EP was fully written and recorded by Matt Spatial and reached the #15 position on the Deutsche Alternative Charts by mid-October. The band is also making waves with their energetic live shows and have been selected as support for other high-profile acts of the genre including Vision Video, Rosegarden Funeral Party, Glass Spells, Al1ce, Curse Mackey, and Astari Nite (My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Pigface) throughout the SE region.
