***After a few years of roaming around in space and time, the NOTHING PEOPLE land on Earth to do two earthly tunes. Rather than tap into futuristic sounds, our Orland brethren have accessed their past. This cool-as-fug forty-five not only references the band’s first seven inch (released on S.S. back in 2006), but some rock & roll heroes: Velvet Underground, Modern Lovers, and a little bit of the Gizmos. Strummy, raw, no frills party tunes is what you get here. We thought that the singles Seventies feel deserved some cover art evoking that era, so we commisioned MATT K. SHRUGG to come up with a sleeve that brought to mind underground comic strips of that time. What he drew up is a perfect compliment to this Nothing People twofer. Edition of 300 copies.

***“Lots of bands, lots of records and usually by record two most bands crap out. Not the NOTHING PEOPLE. Since their first EP was released on S.S some four years ago, every subsequent Nothing People/S.S. release has gotten better and better. Soft Crash is no exception. And like the jump between their first album (Anonymous) and their second (Late Night), Soft Crash both expands and secures the Nothing People’s sound. A proto-punk pulse mixes with a dark synth throb for something that sounds both of yesterday and tomorrow or in the words of Z Gun’s Ryan Wells, ‘These guys are science fiction!’ Sci fi? As in Chrome, Von Lmo, and Simply Saucer? ‘Natch.’ And the man is right. However, unlike the ton of bands who get rifled in with classic underground names and cannot deliver, the Nothing People do their comrades justice. Last year’s Late Night LP made a ton of year end ‘Best Of’ lists. The year before Anonymous hit a bunch of ‘Best Ofs.’ While it is only February, might as well add Soft Crash to your “Best of 2010” list. Soft Crash is a great record.”—S.S. Includes download code.

***“Over the last couple of years, THE NOTHING PEOPLE have released three stellar 7-inch records and during that time they have built a “fan club” that includes Anopheles Records’ Karl Ikola, the guys at Victim of Time, Siltbreeze’s Tom Lax, In the Red’s Larry Hardy, the folks down at Your Flesh, Ryan Wells of Z Gun, and many more. And over the last couple years this “fan club” has asked me “When’s the full length?” over and over again. Well, now they can shut the hell up because the Nothing People’s first album is here! And let me tell you this, while the Nothing Peeps have plenty of songs that yell out “put me on a 45,” they have just as many that demand to be heard in long form. Want an example, check out “Sickness.” It is the kind of song you want to hear on twelve inches, and there are 8, 9, 10 hell I lost count, but there are a bunch more. So, yeah, it is time for you to get a big dose of proto/glam/psych/punk/wave excellence. On clear vinyl. 600 pressed.”—Scott Soriano
