Experimental/post-industrial act Diminishing, which features Gridfailure’s Dave Brenner and Yatsu’s Lane Oliver, have unveiled their new single “An Emptiness” today.

The song comes with a music video directed by Brenner. Oliver, who helped with filming and editing the visual, said this about the new song:

“‘An Emptiness’ opens the record on a nihilistic note. The 'narrator,' if you will, muses on the futility of existence. It's a theme that appears repeatedly on the record, but it is also a theme that is purposely contradicted in some passages. The push-and-pull between pessimism and the desire for meaning flows throughout The Unnamable to capture the emotional turmoil of existential crises. The video for ‘An Emptiness’ showcases the bleakness of the song in visual form. Images of barren woodlands, dilapidated structures, and us at our most morose, work in tandem to illustrate the hopelessness the song invokes.”

“An Emptiness” comes from Diminishing’s forthcoming debut album The Unnamable, which will be released on June 16 via Anti-Corporate Music. The nine-track album was recorded and mixed by the band and mastered by Dan Emery at Black Matter Mastering (Kool Keith, Dälek, Chrome Waves, Thetan). Pre-orders for the record can be found here.
