New Fast Money Music track features John Waugh and Steffan Halperin
The mechanical exhaustion of interpersonal breakdown defines There Are No Words, the March 6, 2026, single from Fast Money Music. Arriving via the Fast Money Music label, the track functions as a sharp tonal pivot from the melodic leanings of previous release Unfortunately. It strips away the sentimentality of the project’s earlier output, replacing it with angular guitar figures and a repetitive, driving bassline that mirrors the circularity of a failing argument. The title phrase, traditionally shorthand for awe, is here repurposed to describe the specific silence of an emotional dead end.
Artist: Fast Money Music
Release Date: 2026-04-17
Genres: Art Rock, New Wave, Post-punk
Label: Fast Money Music
Description: Fast Money Music releases There Are No Words on March 6 2026. The single precedes the debut album arriving April 17 on Fast Money Music label.
The arrangement relies on a deliberate friction, featuring screeching saxophone contributions from John Waugh (The 1975) and a rhythmic foundation provided by Klaxons drummer Steffan Halperin alongside bassist Joe Lyons. Recorded over a ten-year span, the track was produced by Nick Hinman and Mikko Gordon—the latter noted for his engineering work with The Smile and IDLES. Mixed at Hackney Road Studios and mastered by Matt Colton, the sonic profile draws from the jittery minimalism of The Modern Lovers and the rhythmic tension of The Specials.
Fast Money Music is the London-based project of songwriter Nick Hinman. Built on a collaborative framework, the debut self-titled LP, scheduled for April 17, 2026, features an expansive list of contributors including George Daniel, Jamie Reynolds, Daniel Vildòsola, Oliver Marson, and Zoë Bleu. The record reflects an amalgamation of art pop and post-punk influences, shaped by a decade of writing and memories. Following a showcase at Supersonic in Paris and a UK tour supporting Tempesst, Fast Money Music is confirmed for the 2025 Great Escape lineup.
