Nurses have come a ways since their debut album, 2007’s Hangin’ Nothin’ But Our Hands Down. Over the past three years, best friends Aaron Chapman and John Bowers have made the move from the Midwest to Portland, signed to Dead Oceans, recruited percussionist James Mitchell, and released their successful sophomore album, Apple’s Acre (TMT Review), last fall. Just a couple weeks ago, Nurses cemented their status as a band to look out for with a Daytrotter session, consisting of two songs from Apple’s Acre and an unreleased track.
This April, the trio will begin a tour of North America with labelmates The Tallest Man on Earth. They’ve also snagged a spot in the lineup for the End of the Road Festival (Dorset, UK) in September, but we’ll get there when we get there.
