Elsewhere, the band give respectful nods to '80s acts like INXS ("All I Want"), Erasure ("Surrender"), and Phil Collins (the sprawling "Sound of Awakening"). The sound and feel of that Jack Antonoff-fronted outfit is so present on What If Nothing that one might be shocked to learn that he had nothing to do with it (tracks like "One Foot," "All Night," "Tiger Teeth," and "Press Restart" could have been lifted straight from Bleachers' debut, Strange Desire). While not necessarily a groundbreaking offering, Nothing helps the band rise to the top of a contemporary pack that also includes bands like Maroon 5, Imagine Dragons, OneRepublic, the 1975, and, most clearly, Bleachers.
Fun and energetic, What If Nothing is Walk the Moon at its most technicolor, an escapist pop-indebted rock album packed front to back with potential singles. Less straightforward indie rock than past releases, the LP found the band experimenting with innovative textures and brighter production provided by Mike Elizondo, Captain Cuts, and Mike Crossey (Arctic Monkeys, Nothing But Thieves, the 1975). In the wake of the success of their crossover hit single "Shut Up and Dance," Ohio quartet Walk the Moon followed with their third full-length, What If Nothing.
