MP3: The Berg Sans Nipple - Convert the Measurement

After seeing that a good chunk of artists (Craig Wedren, The Felice Brothers, David Dondero) were no longer recording for New York label Team Love, I visited their website to see if they were still functioning. Turns out, they are, and one of their crown jewels (that they managed to keep) has a new LP coming out.

The Berg Sans Nipple return with their first new album in many years: it's called "Build With Erosion" and today you get a taste of 2 songs from it, both really good and enough to leave you wanting more. Definitely more vocal this time around!

"Build With Erosion" is out March 15th. I'm looking forward to it.

MP3: The Berg Sans Nipple - Ghost

What got me excited about the Berg Sans Nipple was 2 things: Shane Aspegren of Lullaby for the Working Class was in it and it was being released on Team Love, a label I'm quite fond of.

What made me fall head over heels for them was this video:

"Along the Quai", released this past Tueaday, is 8 songs that feel very warm and organic despite featuring many computerized sounds. However, it also features soft vocals low in the mix, melodica, trumpet and more. Anyone who is familiar with Aspegren knows his background has always been as a drummer and that's no different here. I'd say the drums stand out the most. At times, both members play percussion and it really does wonders to make the songs stand out. Watch that video, you'll see what I mean.

Also worth seeking out is the vinyl version of this record: It's a double 180 gram vinyl with 2 bonus tracks. Both the cd and lp have a really cool cutout on the cover.
