Sounds Like
A dense lather of familiar newness in guitar, bass, and drums.
"Rock music stories of struggle and longing, passion and restraint. With an East Villiage/Max's Kansas City 1979 irreverence American Nude takes a course that draws equally from 60's communalism, 70s guitardom, 80s 4AD spaciousness, and a modern group of lyrical themes. There's no cut/paste and no auto-tune on this analog tape production. Black Wire Stereo is a guitar texture-heavy treat that makes corner after corner and still manages to stay on some kind of course."
