Assorted Anxieties LP

supported by

Riot Radio This guy’s got me jittering in my seat more than a morning cup of coffee. I’m moving through my day with a new found energy and authority. I see 3 steps ahead. I avoid traffic by taking the service roads. I adopt skipping above walking as a faster mode of transportation. I hum and vibrate while trying to stand still and glide around hardwood like a puck on an air hockey table. My teeth are loose and my hearings impaired. There’s only one diagnosis for what I got. I got the Nervous Jitts. Favorite track: Nervous Child.

kylekraemer Superb angst driven madness!!! Favorite track: Bridgeport Lather.

about

Excited to bring you the debut Erik Nervous LP, 'Assorted Anxieties, that comprises the Shipshewana Swimming (Demo) (including an outtake that wasn't on the 7 version), the winter cassingle, the Teen Distortion Junk Music EP, Ice Cream7", the Discontinuous Innovation tape, and the track off the Killed By Meth 2 comp.

'Funny word, ‘dumb’. And especially so when it comes to punk - kinda suggests the artist doesn’t know what they’re doing, or if they do, they’re too stupid to know any better. These are not charges you would wish to level at Erik Nervous, who knows exactly what he’s doing and is way too smart to play it any other way. And yet! And yet! The 24 songs collected on Assorted Anxieties are gleefully, wonderfully, brilliantly, heroically dumb.

Three-chord odes on boredom, shitty jobs (and too many of ‘em at that), having no money and whatever else occurs to him at any one time, these songs are the perfect antidote (or maybe soundtrack to, or maybe riposte to) the relentless grind of the day-to-day, played with a frantic energy that recalls Wire circa Pink Flag, The Fall circa Grotesque (After The Gramme) and the rawest, simplest rock’n’roll you’ve ever heard in your life. Listen to the lyrics if you wanna engage your brain, bop along to the frantic garage-punk mania if you can’t be bothered with all that ‘thinking’ stuff. Either way, revel in a record that’s too clever to take itself seriously and too perfect to give a fuck. If this is what it means to be dumb, let’s all drop out of school right now.'
Will Fitzpatrick.

Mastered by Daniel Husayn at North London Bomb Factory Mastering.
Both the Drunken Sailor version and the Neck Chop version have a different unreleased song.

First 100 on Red Vinyl
Comes with instant download.
U.S. people, this will be available real soon on Neck Chop Records
