NURSE WITH WOUND – Huffin’ Rag Blues (Expanded Repress) – 2LP – Vinyl [FEB 6]

2LP – Black Vinyl Expanded Repress.

Heres an expanded edition of one of Nurse With Wounds most intense, unique opuses, so unique that for long-time fans it was a strange, chaotic loundgebizzarie when it first came out. For the first time, all four audio sides are complete (originally, there were only three sides). And to crown it all, a magnificentnew cover by the great and talented Babs Santini, who is none other than Steven Stapleton behind his pseudonym of plastic artist, still in the luxurioustradition of the silver collection at Rotorelief Records.

Nurse with Wounds album Huffin Rag Blues is unique in NWWs discography. Stapleton teams up with composer, producer and multi-instrumentalistAndrew Liles, his co-creator of musical terrorism, to tackle the exotica and lounge genres, crushed into a cacophonous mess. Long-time NWW friends ColinPotter and Matt Waldron are also on board. Blues, jazz, crime films, bachelor pads and soap opera music are processed and discarded, then chopped up andrecycled in a mix that contains a ton of space, but also overflows with dynamic tension, hilarious asides, sexually suggestive poetry and a certain rock & rollabandon. This is a very surprising opus for long-time fans, is like a soundtrack that could illustrate a David Lynch film Its brilliant, maddening, hilarious and
sinister enough to earn a place in any collection with a little quirkiness and eccentricity.

Huffin Rag Blues incorporates more familiar musical elements including instruments (played live, even), rhythm and vocals than almost any other Nurse With Wound album to date. The albums main concern is, asalways, to create environments for lucid dreaming rather than to create music as such.
