Nurses have announced the release of their next full-length, Dracula, on Dead Oceans. The album will be released in the US on September 20 and in the UK on September 19. The new disc features the band’s unmistakable elastic melodies, heady pop hooks and unconventional knack for catchy songwriting. With its deep grooves, funky bass lines and focus on rhythm, Dracula feels like the older brother to 2009′s Apple’s Acre.
The album is handcrafted with weird and wonderful noises from the band members Aaron Chapman, James Mitchell & John Bowers, who eschewed typical instrumental roles and instead collaborated as producers, each contributing his own ideas and sounds to form songs.

This would really help me on my road to recovery from Trypanophobia.

I’m a nursing student and there’s nothing I love more than ironically named bands called nurses. full of men, and underrepresented minority in the nursing field! imagine!
(also, I enjoy rocking out)

Nurses cast the most epic shadow-beards while performing. I need to document this rock phenomenon in a second photo series.
