Jason Buehler and Mark Shirazi, the constituent members of Portland duo Nice Nice, have been making their brand of “post-everything modern music” for almost a decade. All their experimentation seems to be coming to a head this year, as the group has signed to electronic music juggernaut Warp. The venerable label will put out Nice Nice’s debut record, Extra Wow, on April 6. Drawing from the group’s wide range of influences, the record is said to touch on everything from psychedelia to electronic experiments to krautrock.
Considering the duo’s track record this past decade, it would be unlikely for them to simply twiddle their thumbs until the record’s release. To keep themselves busy until then, the band plans to play a handful of West Coast dates during the days of late February and early March.
Extra Wow tracklist:
01. Set and Setting
02. One Hit
03. A Way We Glow
04. On and On
05. Everything Falling Apart
06. Big Bounce
07. See Waves
08. A Vibration
09. A Little Love
10. Double Head
11. Make It Gold
12. New Cascade
13. It’s Here
