Nudge were augmented to a 5-piece band for a
couple of recording sessions that resulted in these
two monstrous tracks...gnarly dubber's rock.
"stack" is propulsive, complex meta-rock with
melodica and distortion-driven echoes. While most
electronica preoccupies itself with being a sound-
track for the city of shining skyscrapers, "stack" is
urban music for the decaying city of rain puddles,
cracked sidewalks, and hidden skate spots. "Div"
is the imaginary, "what if?" meeting of Skam and
Chain Reaction, with lo-fi live drumming samples
and sweeping synths- possibly one of the band's
most complex compositions to date. Excellent
crossover mixing for next-level DJs.
Nudge have been led by Brian Foote since the mid-
90ies, joined by a rotating lineup of partners. The
band's first releases came out on the now-defunct
Outward Music Company; their second album, elaborate devices for filtering crisis, was released
by Tigerbeat6 in 2003. Their third CD, cached,
came out on kranky in May 2005.
