XLR8R

Nudge appears to have a very submissive and peaceful agenda with “War Song,” as the three-piece band synthesizes live instrumentation and singing with computer-generated sounds in this eerie track from the Infinity Padlock EP. Member Brian Foote (who runs the Outward Music and Audraglint labels), Paul Dickow (a.k.a. Strategy), and Honey Owens (of Jackie-O Motherfucker) comprise the PDX-based spacey psych-rock collective and paint a vibrant- yet- illusory picture that has a noteworthy sense of optimistic melancholy.
