Now After Nothing unveil ‘Entangled’ video
Now After Nothing
Atlanta, Georgia-based darkwave duo Now After Nothing have released a new video for their track “Entangled” on November 17, 2025. The song closes the 2024 EP “Artificial Ambivalence“, issued via the band’s own imprint Living On Neptune(s) on digital formats and limited 12” vinyl.
“Entangled” runs just over five minutes and opens with an extended, atmospheric instrumental section before the vocals enter. The track appears as the sixth and final song on “Artificial Ambivalence”, following “Sick Fix”, “Criminal Feature”, “Holly”, “Fixation Fantasy” and “Dare”.
According to the band, the song focuses on the experience of being bound up in people or habits that generate chaos and emotional strain and on the moment when the narrator starts to pull away from those ties. The video translates that idea into a sequence of hazy, dreamlike scenes intended to echo memories and shifting emotions rather than a linear storyline.
Founder Matt Spatial describes his connection to the piece, calling it “one of my most favored songs that I’ve ever written” and adding that he “felt very strongly about wanting to bring a visual dimension to it.” He further characterises the track’s structure, noting that “from the soothing intro through to the climactic cacophony of multiple, intermingling voices (representing the chaos and intensity of emotions) it is certainly the most ambitious song I’ve ever written and recorded.”
On the recording, Spatial handles vocals, guitars, bass, synths and programming, with Michael Allen on drums. The EP was written, recorded and produced by Spatial, mixed by Carl Glanville, and mastered by John Davis and Felix Davis. Additional guitars by Mark Gemini Thwaite feature on “Sick Fix” and “Dare”, while “Entangled” includes guest vocals by Simone Elise.
For listeners searching for the “Artificial Ambivalence” EP, the band’s Bandcamp page also offers a coke-bottle clear/black marbled 12″ edition in a hand-numbered run of 100 copies.
