Nothing Yet is the second studio album by American indie surf rock band Surf Curse, first released on January 13, 2017, by Danger Collective.
Nick Rattigan and Rubeck described Nothing Yet as a reflection of their lifelong influence by films, stating that the track "The Strange and the Kind" could fit on the soundtrack of a modern Dazed and Confused.[2]
Ilana Tel-Oren of TheIndiecation enjoyed the record, stating that "there was an anthem for millennials, this would be a front runner". Furthermore, believing that "Jacob Rubeck and Nicholas Rattigan’s music captivate and inspire from open to close" on the record. Overall, they stated that what made the record stand apart is "borderline King Krule attempt" at angsty-vocals and overall "just well-crafted and thought out tracks that are cohesive yet unique in their own way, proving that sometimes simple and low fidelity is better."[3]
Maggie Ewing of Melted Magazine also enjoyed the record, noting that while keeping the sincerity and nostalgia of previous releases, is also more "steam-ready, doling out helpings of the Surf Curse experience that had, beforehand, only been available in live performances". Despite this, they also believed that the record "suffers from the sleek, almost slimy recording quality that afflicts many of their contemporaries in efforts to sound developed and well-composed". Overall, they stated that "once easily labeled as a live band, the kind you had to see in concert to really understand, they diversify both their repertoire and their image with Nothing Yet".[4]
