Hailing from London, Nein has garnered a cult following over the past several years after playing shows across Britain and Europe, as well as select gigs in the United States. Combining elements of folk, indie, and punk, with influences ranging from the Pixies to Fleetwood Mac, 'No Heart's A Wasteland' captures the colorful essence of youthful wonder while maintaining a matured interest in the uncertainty of days to come. Sensitive if not brash, heartbreaking if not hopeful, the album dances with a varying, captivating pace--from the burst of energy on album opener "I Like You Too," vibrant harmonies of "Isabel," and soft, soulful storytelling of "Join Us In San Francisco," 'No Heart's A Wasteland' avoids any threat of stagnancy.
Equally adept in the quiet confines of a coffee shop and the roar of a packed venue, Nein's music is complemented by an active, dynamic stage presence, displaying a quiet composure before bursting into fits of unmitigated passion for all in attendance. Sharing his music with the world, William Nein is preparing for a busy, frenetic 2012.

Der englische Singer-Songwriter William Nein hat im Januar sein neues Album "No Heart's A Wasteland" herausgebracht. Darauf vereint William Nein Elemente aus Folk, Punk und Indie - nennt er doch als Einflüsse unter anderem Pixies und Fleetwood Mac. William Neins Lieder berühren, bringen einem zum Schmunzeln und die Füße zum Wippen. Vor Energie strotzende Stücke wie "I Like You Too" wechseln sich ab mit gefühlvollem Geschichtenerzählen wie "Join us in San Francisco". William Neins Musik ist vielseitig, ohne zufällig zu sein. Definitiv sehens- und höhrenswert.
