Welcome to post 1 in what will be an ongoing effort to share at least one OOP release from each of the artists listed on the now legendary Nurse with Wound list.
“Categories strain, crack and sometimes break, under their burden – step out of the space provided…”
I always enjoy getting a new batch from Ekhein. Aside from the music being consistently spot on, Matt’s serial layouts have a really effective touch and are a nice respite from the usual design wackiness out there…

Earn
Center Self
For the last couple of years I’ve pretty much snatched up any of Matt’s Earn tapes (no LP yet?!?) I can find. His stuff seems to always hit the spot when I’m in the need of loopy guitar haziness…and that’s pretty often.

Migrations In Rust
Seasons Cast In Pearl
First I’ve heard of Migrations In Rust & I’m diggin it. Side A sounds like some weird Glass Armonica tampering, while the flip builds up to sounding like a gamelan orchestra in space. Perfect!

Antiquity
Jonas Asher takes a break from Grasslung to make music that sounds a lot like Grasslung. Sincere Void will be out via RS on the 27th.

1958-2009
III
Apparently this is the last installment of this really nice series that pays homage to The King Of Pop. Dreamy synth/guitar (i think?) melancholy that will hopefully see the light of day as an LP set or CD someday
