And Nothing Hurt is the eighth studio album by Spiritualized. The album was released on 7 September 2018 through Fat Possum Records in the United States and Bella Union in the United Kingdom, and is the band's first album in six years since 2012's Sweet Heart Sweet Light. The album was announced on 11 June 2018, along with the release of the album's first singles, "I'm Your Man" and "A Perfect Miracle". The album was produced by Jason Pierce.
Everything Was Beautiful, the band's ninth studio album released in 2022, is intended to be a companion piece to And Nothing Hurt and was created from the same demo sessions as that album. When both album titles are combined, they form the quote "Everything Was Beautiful, and Nothing Hurt", taken from the 1969 novel Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut.
