Do Nothing return with news of second album ‘Friend World’

Back after a three year break, Do Nothing have announced that their second studio album, ‘Friend World’, will be arriving on 6th November via Submarine Cat Records.

It’ll follow in the footsteps of the Nottingham band’s 2023 debut ‘Snake Sideways’, and finds them still firmly rooted in their Midlands stomping ground - the LP was recorded in the city’s beloved venue/studio space JT Soar, and was produced and mixed by Folly Group’s Louis Milburn.

“With the first record there was a feeling of trying to move away from what people expected of us,” frontman Chris Bailey has noted of their sophomore outing. “This time we felt much freer. We didn’t feel any pressure to make a departure. We could follow whatever ideas felt exciting and not worry about what it meant.”

Ushering in this next chapter is new single ‘Stars’ - one of ‘Friend World”s oldest tracks, and a pop-inclined song that Chris describes as being “about ambition, and people who are famous, and all the ways in which it doesn’t make them happy people.” Continuing, he expands: “More than that though, I’d say it’s about finding someone you connect with enough that you quit caring about the other things that used to drive you.”
