Portland, Oregon’s experimental three-piece band, Nurses, will release their debut album ‘Apple’s Acre’ on August 4th via Dead Oceans Records. Nurses formed in 2006 and is made up of singer John Bowers, multi-instrumentalist Aaron Chapman, and drummer James Mitchell.
Bowers and Chapman, best friends from Idaho Falls who met in junior high school, have been roommates for five years. They started the group in Idaho and went through stints in Southern California and Chicago before taking to Portland and meeting Mitchell on a whim in late 2007. Until last month, they lived together in a decaying attic in Northeast Portland (a house with nine other residents and numerous couch-surfers). That’s where they refined their sound, one mouse click at a time, and recorded much of Nurses’ forthcoming full-length debut, Apple’s Acre.
