Though exited to listen to this album again, it fell flat on these aging 2024 ears. Nowhere felt limp and flaccid after the the first few tracks of whirring tin-y reverb and earnest, yet failing, vocals. When this was released, this may have been hailed as a groundbreaking shoegaze or back step in rock (much needed at the time), but it's hard to hear this in 2024 and not think of a couple of unsophisticated young teens playing on a parent's vintage guitar amps while the router is being reset. I can see the appeal of Nowhere to a younger generation in this age of abundance and hype over 'what's old is new again' and the desire to find something that doesn't sound like everything. But this is not the album that lingers as a memento and is more like a forgotten relic to be casually discarded when cleaning out your parents house after they've moved on. "Yep, I remember that.
