(Synthpop, New Wave, Minimal) Nun - Nun - 2014, MP3, 320 kbps

Formed in late 2011, Nun started life as a recording project for members Jenny Branagan, Tom Hardisty (Woollen Kits / Leather Towel), Steve Harris and Hugh Young (Constant Mongrel / Hamhock).
The group formed over a shared love of bands such as Iron Curtain, Sixx, Coil, Throbbing Gristle, Snowy Red, John Carpenter, Goblin and Christian Death.
They also draw aesthetic influence from 80s BBC sci-fi dramas such as Threads, the children's occult classic Moondial, British 70's horror films such as Blood on Satan’s Claw, Carpenter’s classic They Live and Cronenberg's Videodrome, as well as the esoteric imagery of books such as Readers Digest: Strange Stories & Amazing Facts, where images of possession, stigmata, spirit photography and apparitions sit beside tales of the Loch Ness Monster and moving statues.
Featuring huge gnarly basslines, shimmering analogue synths, punishing drum machine and the most malevolent vocal presence since the creation of the Dalek, Nun’s sound ranges from sinister drone orgy to hyperkinetic synth-punk and uber-saturated gothic psychosis.
