NURSE WITH WOUND / A Handjob from the Laughing Policeman (2006)

Handjob is a one track release (forty-four minutes) from the 'purveyors of sinister whimsy to the wretched,' NWW. It has Stephen Stapleton joined by Colin Potter, who together offer up a kind of remix of 'Shipwrecked Radio' outtakes, with various oddities from their past collaborations. It starts slow but gathers momentum with a great loop based tribal rhythm. The latter half slows down once more to a familiar kind of ambient drone. It was limited to 300 copies, but you can bag it from the official bandcamp page in exchange for some currency. With over eighty albums in the NWW discography, it can be hard to know which, if any, are worth your time. This isn't their best work, but not their worst either.
