Hurtful Nothings

The “Hurtful Nothings” EP showcases the range of Das Binky, with entries in the pop, rock, folk, metal and electronica genres.

The songs cover a wide lyrical gamut: John Crossman sings a twisted rebuke to the Adele’s of the world on the electro-pop tune “I Am Your Weakness”; Leslie Hudson takes on the role of Galadriel in the Lord of the Rings themed metal epic “All Shall Love Me and Despair”; Expendable Friend wonderfully captures the fragility of relationships-in-transition in “Cannot”, Jordan Hirsch croons a traditional pop-love song in Alison, and John runs from an unlikely foe in “Mennonite Mob” and leads a somber spiritual in “I Know I Am Done.”

Featuring many of the same voices and talents from “Divide the Storm” along with several new collaborators, “Hurtful Nothings” looks to demonstrate that catchy tunes can be found in any form.

Released in 2012 and completed remixed and remastered from the ground up in 2020, Hurtful Nothings is available on Bandcamp, Spotify, and wherever fine music is found.
