Beginning their discography with an acoustic guitar album "The Unplugged Room Of Killed Time" (2004), recorded during six days of sunny August while traveling through Russian countryside and drinking in Moscow suburbs, the band later moved on to fully electric lo-fi sound of their second record, "Tonight" (2005), which came to be their first DIY release, issued in 60 copies. During the next three years, Igor and George were part of some other bands performing postpunk, indie-pop and downtempo. Having ruined the short lives of these ill-fated music acts, The Nothingdoers got together to record their third album, "Twenty Past Sixteen" (2008), which took them almost a year of sporadic recording sessions at their and their friends' houses, dormitories, Moscow subway and even sewer system (the tense atmosphere of those uneasy times is fully reflected in the dramatic post-rock symphony "Things We Should Forget"
