Nil by Mouth is the seventh studio album by English band Blancmange, released in 2015.
[1] Upon release, Andy Jex of MusicOMH wrote: "Nil by Mouth is a reminder of where Blancmange originally came from; very much born of the DIY improvisation of the kitchen sink recording that typified their earlier years.
This is stripped-down, bare bones Blancmange with music evoking films never written, scenes never soundtracked and popcorn never eaten.
"[4] Caspar Gomez of The Arts Desk stated: "The results are more entertaining and gripping than Blancmange's last "proper" album.
"[3] Mark Elliott of Record Collector concluded: "Nil by Mouth offers no suggestion that Blancmange will be heading out on the revival circuit anytime soon.
