Welcome NICE NICE. Already known in their locale of Portland, Oregon as one of the hottest underground bands on the circuit, since signing to Warp the time has come to step it up a gear with their 1st offering ‘One Hit’, out 23rd of November. By way of introduction the duo – Jason Buehler and Mark Shirazi – will also be coming over to do their first ever European tour with a variety of supports, playing alongside the likes of Wavves, BLK JKS, Battles, Flying Lotus and more, including at the Warp20 (London) and (Berlin) birthday events in December.

Having spent years building their reputation as one of the Pacific Northwest’s most striking live acts, NICE NICE back this up with the senses-shredding flash of psychedelic punk “One Hit”. Paired with the krautrock-in-dub riddim “Ark Drum” on the b-side, the 7″ gives an inkling of the sonic scope of the long-player as well as their imminent UK & Europe live debut.

“We really wanted to capture/reflect what we do live. We focused on trying to convey elements that we think have generally characterized our live show: high energy explosiveness, bright colorful textures, lots of rhythm, large dynamic movement, willingness to explore new directions,” says NICE NICE on the band’s Warp debut Extra Wow.

“A big part of what makes our live show engaging is the “freakshow” factor of watching us build the loops live and interact on top, hopefully the intensity of the recorded music compensates for that. We hope people will hear the record and think “that was a trip, I want to experience that live” – and we hope that it will blow a few minds”

Nice Nice’s bombastic introduction “One Hit” and the B-side “Ark Drum” are now available as a free download from Nov 10th before a physical release as a limited 7″ on November 23rd. Please see warp.net for more details.

“The best live band in the world took a sabbatical of sorts in 2007, sequestering themselves in the studio to document their frenetically poly rhythmic, drums ‘n’ guitar-based electro-psychedelia-equal parts safari and Atari – for new label Warp Records. If this album captures even a fraction of the ferocity, nuance, and playfulness that Nice Nice display on stage, Warp ought to have a world beater on its hands.”
