Typesetter - Nothing Blues [CD]

On "Nothing Blues", Typesetter dive headfirst into new territory, an eclectic mix of tones and textures--even a bit of trumpet-- that could be a recipe for sensory overload, but the band deftly makes room for ambitious arrangements while maintaining the unbridled momentum at their core. Typesetter's sonic growth is a complement to "Nothing Blues"' lyrics, which find Bannes' chronicling a period of his life that compelled him to find crucial new ways of communicating. With "Nothing Blues", Typesetter have adopted an expansive new spectrum of sound and emotion, marking a new chapter for the band and Bannes. One where being vulnerable doesn't mean a lack of strength, where honesty isn't easy but is imperative, and where the most valuable thing is simply a willingness to keep striving for improvement.
