No Thyself is the fifth and final studio album by the band Magazine, and the first since their 2009 reformation. It was released on the Wire-Sound label on 24 October 2011, about 30 years after the release of their previous studio album, Magic, Murder and the Weather.[1][2]
Bass guitarist Barry Adamson, while still remaining a member of Magazine, did not participate in the making of No Thyself due to prior obligations in film music.[2][3] Guitarist John McGeoch had died in 2004.[3] Both musicians were important in previous lineups.[2] Pete Shelley, who had founded Buzzcocks with Magazine singer Howard Devoto, co-writing early Buzzcocks material and one Magazine song together, contributed to the writing of the first track. The album cover features the painting The Misshapen Polyp Floated on the Shores, a Sort of Smiling and Hideous Cyclops by French artist Odilon Redon.[4]
