Next Week’s Washing Gets Nostalgic on Epic Release “Empty Pages”

Toronto-based trio Next Week’s Washing make a bold statement with “Empty Pages,” their expansive, genre-blending new single. Drawing on elements of shoegaze, Britpop, and alternative rock, the track combines a nostalgic emotionality with forward-looking sonic ambition – pairing shimmering walls of guitar with front-and-centre, harmony-laced vocals. It’s a huge, euphoric number from a band you didn’t know you needed until now.

Written during their earliest sessions as a group, “Empty Pages” helped solidify the band’s collaborative spark. “It started with a nostalgic chord progression, and we built everything else around that feeling,” they explain. Lyrically, the track reflects on the idea of potential and perspective by seeing life’s “Empty Pages” as either a void or an invitation.

Engineered by Dylan Frankland (Tallies) and mastered by Noah Mintz, the song also highlights a rare sibling harmony moment between members Miles and Julian Duffy in the chorus, adding an emotional layer to the band’s widescreen sound.
