Meursault – Nothing Broke

  • October 5, 2009

Scottish band Meursault’s EP Nothing Broke is a departure from their stellar electro pop debut Pissing on Bonfires/Kissing with Tongues. This release is sparse and expansive, featuring acoustic atmospherics with subtle piano, banjo, harmonium and handclaps. A highlight is the tender Withered Hand cover “Red Candle Bulb” which showcases the simple beauty of Neil Pennycook’s vocals. Nothing Broke is a stunning and introspective release right down to the album’s handcrafted, limited edition packaging of 300: a simple cardboard sleeve with a painted egg illustration, individually stamped and numbered.
