Nurse With Wound- Backside

Label: Rotorelief

Released 10/16/2026

New studio album Backside by Nurse With Wound, includes unearthed fragments of Bladder Flask by Richard Rupenus, circa '80s, also released on CD in 2024. Cover art by Babs Santini. The paths of Nurse With Wound and Bladder Flask first crossed in 1980 and the following year Bladder Flask's debut album One Day I Was So Sad That The Corners Of My Mouth Met & Everybody Thought I Was Whistling was distributed by United Dairies. Following the aborted project for a second Bladder Flask album, scheduled for 1981, some forty years later, Richard Rupenus approached Steven Stapleton to use fragments of old recordings he'd unearthed from "Bladder Flask", an invitation that Stapleton accepted, and rather than simply remixing or reworking existing Bladder Flask tracks, Steve Stapleton and Andrew Liles have succeeded in reinforcing Nurse With Wound and Bladder Flask's sense of the absurd in this new opus "Backside". Black vinyl.
