Atlanta, Georgia – based darkwave act,\u00a0NOW AFTER NOTHING<\/strong>\u00a0has unveiled their latest video for the single, “Entangled”.

“Entangled”, the final track on the band’s latest release,\u00a0Artificial Ambivalence<\/em><\/strong>, is a song about the reality of being completely enveloped in those people (or things) that do little more than stir massive amounts of chaos and anguish into our worlds. Lyrically, the song represents a moment of clarity as the protagonist begins to physically and emotionally struggle with trying to separate themselves from the situation.\u00a0

The concept behind the video was to reimagine the lyrics through a sequence of hazy and mostly dreamlike scenarios as if to echo memories, feelings, and a general flood of emotions.

A highly unorthodox song to release as a single with its near two-minute long, dreamy instrumental\u00a0introduction and unique song structure, “Entangled” is a favorite of\u00a0NOW AFTER NOTHING<\/strong>\u00a0founder, Matt Spatial.

“It’s one of my most favored songs that I’ve ever\u00a0written. I felt very strongly about wanting to bring a visual dimension to it.\u00a0 From the soothing intro through to the climactic cacophony of multiple, intermingling voices (representing the chaos and intensity of emotions) it is certainly the most ambitious song I’ve ever written and recorded.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlanta indie darkwave duo, NOW AFTER NOTHING<\/strong> strikes with a thrum and thrill. Songwriter Matt Spatial is a multi-instrumentalist with a flair for the fierce, joining forces with drummer Michael Allen. Together, they twist classic roots into modern reverberations, sparking a sound that\u2019s as sinuous as it is savage. There\u2019s My Bloody Valentine\u2019s lush lilt and Sonic Youth\u2019s fierce, unfiltered power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spatial melds these influences into something electric and exhilarating\u2014goth-glam grooves slick with sweat, raw enough to leave a mark. Fans have called it \u201cS&M disco,\u201d a sinister shimmer of punk, industrial grind, and nocturnal new wave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStarting this band was a return to music for me, and more so a reclaiming of my identity, after a relatively difficult time in my life,\u201d Spatial reflects. \u201cI had become lost and depressed without a creative outlet with which to express myself..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOW AFTER NOTHING<\/strong> released their first single, “Sick Fix” in January, 2023, and the road leading toward the album’s release in September, 2024 was a bruising one: pain, self-reckoning, and restless nights shaped each song. That agony bore fruit, however, landing the band a #15 spot-on the Deutsche Alternative Charts just a month later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

True to their namesake, Matt Spatial\u2019s lyrics stitch together themes that bite and burn\u2014social, political, personal truths\u2014into instrumentals layered with darkness. Each of the six tracks on Artificial Ambivalence<\/em><\/strong> tells a tale: sometimes blunt, sometimes blurred, about lives twisted in familiar binds, a story born from someone\u2019s raw reality. At its core, Artificial Ambivalence<\/em><\/strong> lays bare toxic ties\u2014to others, to addictions, to the churning echo chambers of social media, news, and power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArtificial Ambivalence, as a concept, to me represents the state of feeling lost and\/or the ‘shutting down’ from the negativity and toxicity around each of us,\u201d  –  Matt Spatial<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album was mixed by Carl Glanville (U2, Joan Jett) and mastered by John Davis and Felix Davis. Additional guitar work from Mark Gemini Thwaite (Peter Murphy, Gary Numan, Mission UK) can be heard on “Sick Fix” and “Dare”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOW AFTER NOTHING<\/strong> is gaining momentum with their high-energy live shows, sharing stages throughout the Southeast with prominent acts like Vision Video, Glass Spells, Rosegarden Funeral Party, AL1CE, and Curse Mackey (of My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult and Pigface). The band plans to expand their horizons with increased touring in 2026.

“Entangled” is available on all major digital outlets including Bandcamp, Spotify & Youtube.
