Portland-based psych-popsters Nurses self-released their debut album, ‘Hangin Nothin But Our Hands Down’, in 2006, re-releasing it through Sargent House a year later. Originally a four-piece, the band’s core duo of Aaron Chapman and John Bowers then broke off and aligned themselves with percussionist James Mitchell, before recording their second album ‘Apple’s Acre’, which was released by Dead Oceans in 2009.
Currently working on their third album, due for release again through Dead Oceans later this year, now is the perfect time to acquaint yourself with the band’s music. Filled with dreamily played instruments and deceptive hooks, three of the standout tracks from ‘Apple Acre’ – ‘Man At Arms’, ‘Caterpillar Playground’ and brilliant opening track ‘Technicolor’ – are streaming on the band’s MySpace page.
