Twisted nerve are having a bit of a renaissance on the back of the B Music prog revival thing courtesy of the Finders Keepers mob. That and of course the huge success of folks like Voice of The Seven Woods. They have a new comp out called A Kind of Awe And Reverence And Wonder featuring said Vo7W. Toolshed, Samandtheplants, All Traps Set and 8 more artists you and I have never heard of. As you'd expect it's a quality comp straddling genre yet it seems pretty coherent. An interesting and dare I say almost educating listen....A Kind Of Awe And Reverence And Wonder’ is the new compilation from Manchester's very own homemade and house-proud, singular minded and independent ‘non-record-label’ Twisted Nerve. Having catered to a modest community of lateral thinking music lovers for ten eventful cold summers Andy Votel along with Damon Gough (aka Badly Drawn Boy) and new recruits Dom Thomas and Doug Shipton (stalwarts of sister label Finders Keepers) have returned to the original Twisted Nerve garden-shed to cultivate a new stream of self-sufficient musical misfits bringing you a catalogue of contemporary hybrid-genres ranging from Welsh Rare Beat to Anatolian-acid-folk and zygotic-zither-music.Lovingly curated with sinful pride and unsubstantiated self confidence, Twisted Nerve unveil their answer to the colossal cut price compilations that prog-rock labels released religiously before many of us graduated to full-length-pants. Here you will find tracks from Twisted Nerve artists old and new, including previously unreleased tracks from the likes of Voice Of The Seven Woods, Samandtheplants and 9Bach.Limited edition LP comes in a special handmade sleeve – limited to 500.
