“tinged with both possibility and absence.”
— Apricot Magazine
a sweeping, guitar-heavy instrumental journey that manages to balance the heaviness of personal apocalypse with flashes of joy, tenderness, and beauty. Released August 8, 2025, this eight-track collection doesn’t just soundtrack your day—it rewrites it into something more epic, more dangerous, and somehow more alive.
NOTHING IS EASY is his debut album, but it doesn’t feel like a debut. It plays like closure […]
“The album is messy in a good way: alive, full of texture, imperfect on purpose.” – Olivia, Cinematic Giants
Un artista que rompe los moldes tradicionales para crear atmósferas cautivadoras de rock, su versátil y dinámico estilo te hará vivir un viaje repleto de emociones — Eduargo, End Sessions
Overall, the album is complex and nuanced, and it deserves its own listening time. It needs to be digested and understood; it will likely not appeal to everyone. Yet, curious and bold listeners will certainly find solace and comfort in it. — Gabriel Mazza, Mesmerized
‘Nothing Is Easy’ ist ein Album, das mit einer beeindruckenden Schnelligkeit heraussticht und interessante Texturen bietet, die man so in anderen Rockproduktionen garantiert nicht findet. — Berlin on Air
— Song of the Day, 2 August 2025
Avec NOTHING IS EASY, Impulse Nine offre une œuvre rare : une autobiographie musicale sans mots, où chaque note semble contenir plusieurs vies. C’est un disque qui ne cherche pas à séduire, mais à consoler. Pas à briller, mais à brûler doucement. À écouter seul, fort, en entier. Parce que rien n’est facile. Mais tout, ici, est vrai. — ExtraVAFrench
[A] truly impressive indie, experimental, and alternative rock record … powerful riffs and unmistakable distortion sound blew me away. — Adrian, Indie Tapes
Forged through profound personal loss and decades of creative persistence, Nothing Is Easy is Impulse Nine’s deeply emotional, genre-blending debut—music for your personal apocalypse, and a testament to enduring grief with hope.
Nothing is Easy é uma representação musicada de sentimentos profundos sobre a vida e morte, ao mesmo tempo em que representa a superação. — Antonio Mendes, Music for All
“Nothing is Easy” is a musical representation of profound feelings about life and death, while also representing overcoming them.
Wir lieben den wuchtigen Fuzz Distortion Sound, der zusammen mit den unaufhaltsamen Drums alles um sich herum in seinen Bann zieht und eine absolut spannungsgeladene, fesselnde Atmosphäre schafft.
Com uma sonoridade que envolve, distorções, ótimas melodias, guitarras pesadas e uma pitada cinematográfica, “Nothing is Easy” pode ser definido como um mergulho emocional construído a partir de uma dor pessoal, do luto familiar e do amor pela música, sendo repleta de sentimento e proporcionando uma experiência auditiva imersiva.
A guitar-heavy, cinematic spectacle chronicling the grief of a string of familial deaths, and the joy of time spent with them, but it’s instrumental so you get all the emotional heft without having to listen to whiny lyrics.
With eight instrumental tracks that straddle shoegaze, hard rock, and post-rock, this work excavates, with layers of distortion and silence, the emotional landscape of those who have lost almost everything, but not themselves. The absence of lyrics isn’t a void, but a breathing space, where the listener is invited to project their own ghosts.
Nothing Is Easy is music you feel in your chest, music that wails, roars, and weeps in instrumental language. No lyrics, no posturing, just honest-to-God emotion sculpted into song.
The closer, “Shadow Over Johnny Ringo’s Grave,” is pure cinematic gold. Think Ennio Morricone with a fuzz pedal and a vendetta.
