The Surveillance Lounge + Huffin’ Rag Blues
Contorted and carved into a distinctly Nurse With Wound sound 'Huffin' Rag Blues' is a greasy amalgam of uneasy listening, shaken and stirred Molotov cocktails and quixotica. Full to the brim with squeals, screams, smokey vocals, drunken double basses, melting vibraphones and internal organs from outer space this album is an unlikely and unique excursion from beginning to end. As with all Nurse With Wound recordings it goes without saying... expect the unexpected
in 2007 NWW were invited by the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Foundation via In Famous to perform a live soundtrack at La Cite de la Musique in Paris to the 1992 Murnau film, “Der Brennende Acker”.
The new sounds that were generated and musical parts recorded for the film became rudimentary building blocks for “The Surveillance Lounge”. Nurse With Wound never fail to surprise and just when you maybe thought you could second guess how this might sound, they completely shift the direction. In contrast to the last release “Huffin’ Rag Blues”, this release focuses on the darker side of Nurse With Wound. Whilst keeping a fresh contemporary feel, it nods towards some of the older, more sinister material.
Current 93’s David Tibet is featured on the disc along with the mainstay of Steven Stapleton and Andrew Liles.
