Throwing Snow announces new EP inspired by Brexit with lead offering "Nought To Gain"

15 October 2019, 10:52 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Throwing Snow has returned with details of a new Brexit-inspired EP, The Death of Pragmatism, as well as unveiling the lead single "Nought To Gain".

"Nought To Gain" is the first new single from Throwing Snow since releasing "Rheged" in February.

The new offering focuses on system modifications that change landscapes as a whole. Ross Tones, aka Throwing Snow, adds that "the supposed benefits of that modification no longer apply as there is now a different structure in place - there is nought to gain and all to lose."

Tones' The Death of Pragmatism EP will feature four tracks, and includes artwork of a sculpture by Phillippa Battye. Throwing Snow says of the artwork, "The shape will look different depending on the observer’s position, which is isomorphic to viewing a debate or issue from different ideological standpoints. Different moral axioms result in different vistas. The sculpture is both block rectangles and warm circles."

It's also his first collection of tracks since his 2018 album Loma.

Tracklist:

  1. Nought To Gain
  2. The Righteous Mind
  3. Ideolog
  4. The Death Of Pragmatism
"Nought To Gain" is out now. Throwing Snow's The Death of Pragmatism EP will arrive 1 November - the day after the Brexit deadline - and is available to pre-order now.
