Debut album ‘Nothing To The Branches’ set for May 15 release

We recently had the distinct honor to check out the new single “Sweet Nothing”, from Boston indie folk band, Jesus The Dinosaur. You can listen to epically awesome new single, “Sweet Nothing” Here

We were instantly drawn to the mesmerizing energy of “Sweet Nothing “ from Jesus The Dinosaur. Some songs effortlessly find their way into your heart and soul, “Sweet Nothing” is definitely one of those songs.

“Sweet Nothing” is the indie folk band’s first new music since 2022. It’s also the first with a fully-formed five-piece lineup, setting a personal and invitational tone for the group’s forthcoming debut album, Nothing To The Branches, arriving on May 15.

For me personally, I’m describing what it feels like to be in a social setting while being maxed out on my social meter,” Ng admits. “I have a big people-pleasing problem (working on it), so I’ll keep pushing through social interactions even when I have nothing left to give, so what comes out of my mouth at that point is usually just that: filler, forced smiles, canned responses, bullshit. Just enough to pass as pleasing and agreeable to everyone. It all kind of makes me sick and I need a lot of alone time afterward. But that takes its toll, too.” 

Perhaps somewhat ironically, a song inspired by not having the right words to say in a social setting was penned with its lyrics arriving first. Ng, a veteran Boston songwriter who also performs with Chadwick Stokes’ band, is often at ease in relaying emotions through music, conveying a confessional and lived-in tone that tumble and turn like revealed entries from a personal diary.  

“I usually write lyrics and music at the same time or music first, but I was experimenting with writing music to words for this song,” they add. “Same as a lot of the songs on this record, I sent over a verse and chorus to the band from my phone and let it evolve from there in the practice space together.”

Soon after, “Sweet Nothing” bloomed into the track it is today, with the new incarnation of Jesus The Dinosaur elevating it to a swirling fit of propulsive energy that makes the listener feel like they’re sitting in with the band. That’s perhaps the direct result of the quintet operating as a cohesive unit for Nothing To The Branches, with Tommy Ng (vocals, acoustic guitar) rounded out by Hannah Foxman (electric guitar, vocals), J Kimball (electric guitar), Bradley Robertson (bass, and Jamie Rowe (drums, percussion).

“Sweet Nothing” was produced, engineered, mixed by Rowe at Rare Signals in Cambridge and The Record Co. in Boston, with additional engineering by Brian Charles at Rare Signals. It was mastered by Ian Farmer and his cat, Onion, at The Metal Shop in Philadelphia

“Sweet Nothing”, from Jesus The Dinosaur, is a powerful musical energy that you simply can’t ignore. We were absolutely smitten from the first chord.
