Asleep On The Tracks

Sweet Rot

***In January 2010 Sweet Rot released our first LP which was the debut long player by NERVE CITY. Nearly four years later we are extremely pleased to be releasing the 2nd Nerve City LP, Asleep On The Tracks. In the years since the debut, front-man JASON BOYER has been busy traveling, touring, moving from Virginia to Florida, and writing an impressive amount of songs. The best of these were selected and recorded in late 2012 with a full band at Memphis' Electraphonic Recording. The earlier Nerve City releases (including records on Sacred Bones, Hozac, and Kill Shaman) garnered a lot of positive attention from the likes of Terminal Boredom and Negative Guest List for Boyer's knack to channel the classics like the Velvet Underground, JAMC, and The Troggs and to couple those influences with his distinctive and haunting blown-out home-recording techniques. And although no one will mistake Asleep On The Tracks of being anything other than a Nerve City record, the full band/studio production really adds a new element to the band's sound and highlights more than ever Boyer's ability to write a great fucking song. We couldn't be happier to continue our relationship with one of our favourite artists. 330 copies. Silk-screened sleeves.

Sweet Rot

***“Sweet Rot couldn’t be happier to present our first full-length release, the stunning debut LP by NERVE CITY. Subtitled Recordings 2007-2008, this record showcases a dozen songs from the early days of this mostly one-man recording project from Richmond, Virginia. At the core, these are incredibly well written and played melodic songs with nods to the classics like the Stones and VU, but the note-perfect production that’s gone into each song adds an immense amount of haunting atmosphere and the final product is simply quite astounding. From minimalist folk songs, to full, lurching, droning epics this record contains absolutely no trace of filler and will stick with you immediately upon first listen. Perfect for these dark, dreary, cold days of winter. Previous releases on Hozac and Kill Shaman, and a 12-inch EP coming soon on Sacred Bones. Black vinyl.”

Red Tops

Hozac

***As raw and bitter as the north winds blowing off the Virginia mountaintops, HoZac is proud to serve you a platter of new songs to ease the winter solitude with three impeccably satisfying noisy folk vibrations from NERVE CITY. As you may already know, Nerve City is one of the brightest home-recording projects that's been exploding into a gripping live band, all the while holding a line of desperate tension and aggressive simplicity that climbs inside your skull within seconds and never really leaves. With a strong handle on jangling ‘60s guitar instrumentation and misanthropic melody, coupled with brash, shell-shockingly savage recording methods and songwriting that's so far above its peers, it's time you warmed up a spot in your withered soul for Nerve City before they blow up in your face. Look for their debut LP coming soon on Sweet Rot, along with a 12-inch EP on Sacred Bones right around the corner as well. Recommended if you like: Medication, Kurt Vile, Teepee, Thee Oh Sees
