No Age Cover Nerves, Urinals, Nate Denver on New 7"
In a recent interview with Pitchfork contributor Nilina Mason-Campbell, the boys of No Age described being trapped together in a car for 14 hours during a particularly gnarly snowstorm. To stave off boredom, they taught themselves to play tunes by Nate Denver, the Urinals, and the Nerves.
Now, they're passing the boredomcovers on to you! "Eraser" is the first single from No Age's Sub Pop debut Nouns. It's due out April 8, and features their takes on Nate Denver's "Don't Stand Still", the Urinals' "Male Masturbation" and the Nerves' "When You Find Out" (not, as they discussed in the aforementioned interview, the Nerves' oft-covered power-pop nugget "Hanging on the Telephone"). No Age packs all three covers onto the B-side of said 7", leaving the flip entirely to the smoldering "Eraser".
Nouns will be unleashed May 6. Ooh look at the cover!
Of course, the never-ending No Age tour rages on, with a few newly added dates here and there. And we'll once again take this opportunity to remind you of their appearances at the ATP vs. Pitchfork shindig in England in May and the Pitchfork Music Festival in July in Chicago.
