Critically acclaimed math-tinted indie-rock, Anglo-American 4 piece nub
release the retrospective album that’s been a long time coming. With
tracks recorded by Julian Standen (Lemonheads, Billy Mahonie etc.) and
Robin Proper Sheppard (God Machine, Sophia etc.) this collection
finally puts an album to the band that managed to maintain great press
coverage and a dedicated following for it’s entire existence while only
releasing singles. Nub existed as a living, breathing rock band from
1991 to 1998. They released singles such as Fall Guy (Rough Trade),
Blacktop (Flowershop Records), Blue Climber (Jackass) and recorded a
Peel Session in 1996.
“Nub are heading forward faster than anyone
else out there. Get in their way and cling on for life.” Neil Kulkarni
– Melody Maker. “This is the song that’ll have you closing your eyes
and losing your balance.” Single of the week - Victoria Segal – Melody
Maker. “Together they play jerky, stop-start, silver-fretted,
quiet/loudcore music – Pythagorean in its complexity, yet Wordsworthian
in its lyricism.” John Robinson – NME. “Nub are the sort of band that
you start inventing whole other lives for.”
...according to Nick Swands.
this album rocks!
