After sharing a string of tracks this year – including collaborations with Marika Hackman and The Staves – Ed Nash is releasing his debut album as Toothless early next year. ‘The Pace Of The Passing is set to feature ‘Palm’s Backside’ and ‘The Sirens’ as well as a brand new single, ‘Sisyphus.’ The sunny track takes the Greek myth (where Sisyphus is doomed to keep rolling a boulder up a hill every day just to roll it back down) and turns it into a clever little metaphor for standing by someone in a relationship, no matter how many times they keep making the same old mistakes. ‘Sisyphus’ hasn’t always been a perky indie-pop earworm through. He told Noisey: “‘Sisyphus’ was the last song that I recorded for ‘The Pace Of The Passing’ and it very nearly didn’t make the cut. For about a year it existed as a terrible J-pop style recording that I loved but everyone else absolutely hated. After months of persuasion, I recorded this version. I’m very pleased they persisted!”
