12 intoxicating droplets of contemporary progressive rock, Eastern psych, folk and concrete siphoned from natural sources in England,
America, France and Wales.
'A Kind Of Awe And Reverence And Wonder' is the new compilation from Manchester's very own homemade and house-proud, singular minded and independent 'non-record-label' Twisted Nerve.
Having catered to a modest community of lateral thinking music lovers for ten eventful cold summers Andy Votel along with Damon Gough (aka Badly Drawn Boy) and new recruits Dom Thomas and Doug Shipton (stalwarts of sister label Finders Keepers) have returned to the original T.N. garden-shed to cultivate a new stream of self-sufficient musical misfits bringing you a catalogue of contemporary hybrid-genres ranging from Welsh Rare Beat to Anatolian-acid-folk and zygotic-zither-music.
Lovingly curated with sinful pride and unsubstantiated self confidence, Twisted Nerve unveil their answer to the colossal cut price compilations that prog-rock labels released religiously before many of us graduated to full-length-pants. Here you will find tracks from Twisted Nerve artists old and new the world over, including previously unreleased tracks from the likes of Voice Of The Seven Woods, Samandtheplants, Lights, Toolshed and 9Bach.
Available exclusively now on cd and vinyl from the Twisted Nerve Online Shop, not available elsewhere until 10th September.

Behold the return of Manchester's very own homemade and house-proud, singular minded and independent 'non-record-label', Twisted Nerve.
Having catered to a modest community of lateral thinking music lovers for ten eventful cold summers, Andy Votel and Damon Gough (aka Badly Drawn Boy) along with Finders Keepers stalwarts Dom Thomas and Doug Shipton have returned to the original T.N. garden-shed to cultivate a new stream of self-sufficient musical misfits bringing you a catalogue of contemporary hybrid-genres ranging from Anatolian-acid-folk to zygotic-zither-music.
Armed with their original arsenal of 'a genuine adoration for original music' and 'no business plan', we are currently preparing a flock of new, very limited 7" and 10" EPs, compilations and full-length albums of hand-crafted musical anomaly packaged in bespoke sleeves to be released in regular succession throughout the year. Not to mention the countless releases we have been sneaking out over the last twelve months - 45s from Samandtheplants, Diane Cluck, SJ Esau and more recently from All Traps Set and Kerdd Dant, as well as the eponymous Toolshed album.
Support independent record labels, breaking boundaries before breaking even.
After what seems an eternity, the first in our series of B-MUSIC compilations is now ready to buy on cd and vinyl from the Finders Keepers Online Shop.
