Lindsay Ann Snyder: Your musical influences are

quite diverse. How do you approach blending

classic post-punk and darkwave sounds with

modern electronic instrumentals to create the

unique Now After Nothing sound?

Now After Nothing: I actually don’t think about it much

while I’m in the songwriting process. I’m usually hyper-

focused on just getting the song out of my head and

into the recording itself. What’s always funny to me

though is when I do get asked about a particular song

or the band’s sound, I instantly hear all of those

different influences in a way that I never really notice

until after a song has been released. I might hear Sonic

Youth in the bass line, Gary Numan and Switchblade

Symphony in the synths, maybe some Bauhaus or My

Bloody Valentine in the guitars, etc. It’s probably just

me, subconsciously, trying to Frankenstein together

my favorite elements from all of these incredible artists.
