At odds with the bittersweet nostalgia of his forthcoming debut record, Fast Money Music returns with cutting new single “There Are No Words”. ‘Fast Money Music’ arrives on 17th April.
Following the release of “Unfortunately” earlier this year, Fast Money Music swaps tenderness for something slightly darker on “There Are No Words”, the latest glimpse at his self-titled debut.
The track stands in sharp contrast to the album’s bittersweet nostalgia, a confrontational track that questions compatibility and cuts through illusions.
With angular guitars, a driving bassline, and a meta-awareness woven into its refrain, it channels the chaos of tumultuous relationships – the second-guessing of who’s right, what’s wrong, and when to walk. Sometimes silence is golden, and actions speak louder than words. It’s part The Clash, a bit Modern Lovers, and a little of The Specials.
“‘There Are No Words’ is exactly that – the loss of knowing what the right thing to do or say is,” explains Nick Hinman, “The phrase was originally plucked from a moment of awe and joy, but here it’s repurposed for the feeling of being backed into a corner with nothing left to give.”
The 1975’s John Waugh contributes screeching saxophones to the track, while Klaxons’ Steffan Halperin sits behind the drums. Joshua Scarratt lends backing vocals and Joe Lyons takes on the bass.
“There Are No Words” features on Fast Money Music’s upcoming debut album, set for release in the spring. It’s a record steeped in tough nostalgia – bittersweet pop, jagged post-punk, and breezy jangle shaped by the lo-fi charm of The Cleaners from Venus, the restless drive of Guided by Voices, and the wiry funk of ESG. Written across a decade, it explores longing, identity, rejection, and above all, how timing is everything.
“The debut Fast Money Music LP is a carousel of images and vignettes,” explains Nick, “some pulled from the attic, some found at the front door. It’s part novel, part autobiography, part love story, part tragedy, and part comedy: life on life’s terms. More than anything, it feels like the most authentically me – an amalgamation of memories and experiences, pulling from art pop, post-punk, and new wave, yet landing fully in its own world.”
Built on collaboration, it features John Waugh and George Daniel (The 1975), Jamie Reynolds and Steffan Halperin (Klaxons), Daniel Vildòsola (CMAT, Haelos), with guest turns from Oliver Marson and Zoë Bleu. The record was produced by Grammy-nominated Mikko Gordon (IDLES, The Smile) and Nick Hinman, mixed by Mikko Gordon at Hackney Road Studios, and mastered by Grammy-winning Matt Colton (Depeche Mode, Peter Gabriel, Arctic Monkeys).
Lauded by Jack Saunders (BBC Radio 1), Steve Lamacq (BBC 6Music), Matt Wilkinson (Apple Music) and John Kennedy (Radio X) and earning coverage from SPIN, Clash, DIY HERO, Spotify Fresh Finds and Apple Music New In Alternative amongst others, FMM has built a loyal following since 2022, with sold-out headline performances across East London venues, a showcase at Supersonic Paris, a coveted slot at The Great Escape 2025, and a UK tour supporting Tempesst.
‘Fast Money Music’, the debut album, is scheduled for release on 17th April 2026.
