Bio: They say: “Hail Nothing sits in its own little space between trip–hop, post punk and slow driving techno. If our previous albums were The Smiths, this album is Joy Division. It is also our love song to the void; an ode to chaos and nothingness.” Darker, grittier and bolder than ever before, .gif now treads a unique balance between trip–hop, post punk and slow driving techno. The album confronts the listener with raw, dirty synthesisers and vigorous arpeggiation, the nuance of Din's sonorous beats enhanced and brought to life by Jason Tan's savvy production work. Their robust instrumentation plays magnificently into Weish’s spellbinding vocal melodies, her voice evocatively alternating between tautness and ache, reckless abandon, and sombre poetry. Known for their unexpected and form–bending collaborations, .gif have often worked with artists across different disciplines, from poets to playwrights. Here in Hail Nothing, the pair introduce two exciting first–time collaborators. The opening track Only Yours showcases the iconic vocals and rich lyricism of celebrated multi-disciplinary artist and local luminary Bani Haykal of B–Quartet. Later in the record, Done (done done) features prize-winning British poet and spoken word artist Usaama Minhas, whom .gif shared a lineup with in Cambridge during their 2018 UK tour.
