Propelled by a driving rhythm under eerie guitars, the rock track shows a heavier side to the Cardiff quartet's sound, offering influences from bands such as Muse and Death From Above 1979. Lead guitarist Mike Griffiths said:
"Nothing Higher discusses the personal struggle to find meaning against the backdrop of a chaotic and unsympathetic world, however it also offers some respite to this through love and hope.
"The two distinct parts of the song begin with a sense of uncertainty and chaos which falls away to suggest that something simpler and more hopeful may still be possible through human connection."
Himalayas worked on Nothing Higher with producer Pete Hutchings, who also helmed their October single, What If?. Griffiths added: "He totally got it. He knew we wanted to be heavier and more of a rock band. We had a chat with a few producers, and they all went well, but with Pete we were just talking to him for an hour about music, and we all felt like we clicked."
Himalayas released their debut album, 'From Hell To Here', in 2023. This year has seen them collaborate with AC/DC vocalist Brian Johnson on the spring single V.O.V., and drop the tracks Cave Paintings and Hung Up.
They supported Foo Fighters at Cardiff's Principality Stadium in the summer, and more recently opened for Those Damn Crows at Cardiff's Utilita Arena following a run of dates with Kids In Glass Houses in November.
