hey, nothing. Based on the indie-rock mecca of Athens, GA, the two are known as much for their rapid-fire banter and their seamless sound, which is hard not to get into. And now they've come out swinging with their newest single, "33," reminding you why they're still one of the most compelling acts out there.
"33" is a masterclass in indie-rock charm, a song that manages to sound exquisitely cozied in an utter riot expressed all at once. It's a song that wrestles with the tug and pull of getting older, of suffocating yet hopeful, all of it colonized by crystalline guitars and melodies that loop like the best earworm. That chemistry shines through their music, with their clever, self-aware lyrics gallivant over dynamic instrumentals that feel nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary.
There's something undeniably magical about hey, nothing's here. Much like being in a room, their music is an inside joke you're fortunate enough to have been let in on, warm, welcoming, and irreverent enough to keep you on your toes. "33" is a testament to magic, a song like conversing with your funniest, most insightful friends.
As Athens' top pickleball doubles team (maybe) or just the guys behind some of the most engaging indie music on the scene, sure, nothing is a band to watch, but they are also a band to keep an eye on. "33" is merely the most recent of those whys.
