Nottingham's finest Do Nothing have shared a brand new single - 'Glueland' is the first taste of new material from the new wave tinged post-punk group since June's 'Adventures In Success'.

As ever, Do Nothing distinguish themselves from their contemporaries with twisty, stylish electronic riffs and unhinged, amusing lyricism. 

'Glueland' confronts feelings of being stuck: "going round in circles like a little baby eel" frontman Chris Bailey sings in his David Byrne-ist manner: 

“The song refers to the feeling of being stuck in some kind of weird limbo-land. It’s about how rather than being dictated by wild or dramatic decisions, a lot of things (both good and bad) are controlled by this sort of lame jockeying that happens right in the grey dull middle ground of everything. That being said, it’s a fun song and we hope you like it" Bailey explained.
