It doesn’t all make sense, but you sense that’s the point.

NME

This is far from your dime-a-dozen post-punk EP, sharing far more in spirit with the eclectic origins of the genre than their often resolutely riff-centric peer group.

Do Nothing have made great leaps and bounds with the Glueland EP: they’ve taken their sound and really pushed it to something unique.

A bit weak compared to their 2020 ep. A more post-punk revival sound with a bit of a compressed production sound and weaker experimentation creates a bit of a mess and just not a lot of fun or creativity.

I love their sound - personally I found their first release to be a little more unique and enjoyable, but this release shows continued promise and leaves me looking forward to a full album release
