NURSE WITH WOUND — Huffin' Rag Blues
More Info
"Nach Plattentiteln wie Funeral Music For Perez Prado oder Livin Fear Of James Last zieht es Steven Stapleton nun auch musikalisch in Gebiete, die von Drone und Industrial so weit entfernt scheinen, wie es berhaupt nur geht: Huffin Rag Blues (Jnana) nmlich prsentiert Nurse With Wound mit unerwarteter Schlagseite Richtung Lounge. Es handelt sich dabei um eine beraus humorvolle Angelegenheit, fr die die dargebotenen Stilmittel recht ordentlich durch den Wolf gedreht wurden und nur selten die typische Verschrobenheit anderer NWW-Releases vermissen lassen. Der Umgang mit Funk und Exotica erfolgt so, dass die Musik wie ein schwlheier Fiebertraum erscheinen kann komplett mit Schmachtgesang und Tiergeruschen. Gegenber Stapletons besten Projekten der vergangenen Jahre etwa dem hypnotisch monotonen Salt Marie Celeste (2003) ist Huffin Rag Blues freilich ein ganzes Stck luftiger und letztendlich auch weniger gewichtig geraten: Zuweilen ist der Spaanteil der vorliegenden Platte recht gewhnungsbedrftig, erneuert zum anderen aber den Glauben an eine vordergrndig unverbissene Kunstmusik."

"Nurse With Wound is the main recording vehicle for British musician Steven Stapleton. Since 1978, with collaborators such as David Tibet (Current 93), John Balance (Coil), Colin Potter and Matt Waldron (Irr. App [Ext]), Nurse With Wound has released dozens of albums that draw on nearly every genre of music. The only constant is that one never knows what the next album will sound like. Stapleton and Andrew Liles form the core of the band on Huffin' Rag Blues, and the direction to which they are heading is the lounge! Huffin' Rag Blues is unlike any Nurse With Wound album in recent memory as they veer into the space-age bachelor pad. Guest vocalists Lynn Jackson and Freida Abtan channel Peggy Lee, while Matt Waldron also lends his golden pipes to one song. This is truly exotica as imagined by the twisted genius that is Nurse With Wound." [label info]
