Nurse With Wound

A collaboration between Director Andrew Keogh, Steve Stapleton & Nurse With Wound. Mismantler grew out of animated visuals for a live Nurse With Wound show. The main character ‘The Mismantler’ is taken from a collage by Stapleton. The film is a stream of consciousness exquisite corpse, an attempt to fill a bin bag until brimming with all the worst things on planet earth; our home. A film for billionaires who aspire to being trillionaires, the millionaires who aspire to being billionaires, the wealthy aspiring to be millionaires. For those who other, those who control narratives; those who blame the poor. For those who would debase everything to an economic exchange. Those people who can no longer look humans and creatures in the eye.

"We are delighted to announce a beautifully imagined limited edition boxset of postcard size prints - ‘objet politique’ is limited to just 200 copies and features 7 mini prints, a 3” CD with 20 minutes of exclusive new music from Nurse With Wound, a steel lapel badge and a double sided card of authentication signed and numbered by Steven, all housed in a luxury foil blocked presentation box."

Here's a promising setup: start with the legendary, inimitable Krautrock outfit Faust and get the equally idiosyncratic Nurse With Wound to produce and mix. Faust was among the most adventurous and creative German bands of the 70s, and after disappearing for a decade and a half, they reunited in the 90s and made several startlingly good albums. Today, drummer Werner 'Zappi' Diermaier and bassist Jean-Hervé Peron are the only original members, joined by Amaury Cambuzat from the band Ulan Bator. Nurse With Wound, formed three decades ago, is the brainchild of Steven Stapleton, now augmented with Colin Potter; NWW recordings are notoriously varied, often sprawling, haunting, and strange, with a love of musique concrète and disquieting sounds…

Nurse With Wound were due to play in Austria, unfortunately due to bad weather Steven couldn't make it to the gig. Andrew Liles and Colin Potter were left holding the flag. Steven had prepared a special limited gig only release consisting of some of his favourite unique personal mixes of classic Nurse With Wound material under the title 'EXPERIMENTE'.

Bringing to an end the strangest of years, I am incredibly excited to announce the final issue in the 'DRAG ACID' art & sound series for 2020. I am both humbled and honoured beyond belief to be ending the year on a massive high with the release of a new full length album by the ever uncompromising and extraordinary NURSE WITH WOUND. Limited to 300 copies this release comes with a full colour 7 x 7 inch 20 page zine with new artwork from Babs Santini and a 60 minute soundtrack CDR for the film 'Entering The Forbidden Zone' by Conor McGrady.

Reissue of this mesmerizing record including an unreleased alternate mix of "Subterranean Zappa Blues". Hypnotic rhythms made of slow minimal beats, industrial textures, intoxicating drones and repetitive voices that seem to merge from dreams. Everything built by two of the most brilliant industrial music minds: Steven Stapleton and Colin Potter.

Trippin’ Musik’ is Nurse With Wound’s most significant new dose in a while, collecting 3 epic discs of steeply psychedelic sonics that may well alter your breathing and heart rates and mental state.

Masters of sinister whimsy NWW are at their mind-spanking best in this session, recorded at The Great Monster Dada, Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Oslo 2019.
