PROBLEM ATTIC

Releases 05/07/2021

NBW’s greatest creation yet, Problem Attic is a 45-minute genre-hopping roller coaster ride through the hurricane of bullshit that’s terrorized us for our entire lives. It’s the experience of growing up in a miserable world on the verge of falling apart. Corporations paper over cruelty with fake smiles. The people who should have been doing something about it decades ago avoid responsibility.

It’s got killer AI and lonely mars rovers. It’s got sexy dinosaurs. It’s got vaporwave. It’s got sleazy politicians and illuminati ghouls. It’s got a theme song for pansexual pantheists. It’s even got a zombie Elvis. It’s Problem Attic.

Tracklist: Killobytes / Intelligent Design / Eternal Shopping Mall / Ill, Nude and Naughty / Pansexual Pantheist / Curiosity Killed the Mars Rover / Vagina Regulator / Sunrise Movement / Piggy Bastards / Problem Attic / The Leading Cause of Death / Zombie Elvis

PSYCHO DELICACY

Released 05/13/2014

Anxiety, romance and madness collide on Nuclear Bubble Wrap’s cult classic, Psycho Delicacy. It’s an epic double album that draws as much from Ween’s Pure Guava as it does from Pink Floyd’s The Wall. The album captures a time of tumultuous change and harrowing mental lows in the band’s lives, charging even its sillier songs with a gripping emotional energy that will stay with you long after you hear them.

Tracklist: Lizards in the Sky / Psycho Delicacy / Trunk of Secrets / My Telescope Can See You from Here So I Broke It / Emerald Eyes / Extinct / Smuggling in the Love / Sexy Silk / Beyond the Borderline / Night Mare / Hypotenuse / Industrial Evolution / The Agenda / The Halloween That Came Before November the First / So Many Fwends / Freakish Teatime / Making Christmas / Worms / Cavity Magnetron / Radiation Mutation Transformation / Selfdestruct

MULTIVERSES

Released 01/01/2016

A heady trip through the outer space of the inner mind, Multiverses boasts 15 tracks of introspective, atmospheric rock that explores the self-reflection needed to build a better life. NBW pay homage to a mix of influences such as the distorted, layered space rock of The Flaming Lips, the anxious freakouts of Paralytic Stalks-era of Montreal, the lush psychedelic pop of The Beatles, the sublime shoegazing of My Bloody Valentine... and the familial soap opera of Star Wars.

Tracklist: Mindfield (My Brain Hand Touched a Hot Memory Stove) / Dream Escape! / Pretty Rings / Andromeda / Beatle Juice / Dissociative (Ford, I Think I'm a Sofa / The Fault in Our Death Stars / Brain Matter / Animation Reformation / Multiverses / Natural Woman / Lone Ranger / Fermata Over a Whole Rest as a Pun / Healing Hand / Time is an Illusion

BIO

Nuclear Bubble Wrap is a psychedelic/alternative rock band from Nashville, TN. While their early work was devoted to creating humorous internet content, the band’s style evolved into whimsical art-rock influenced by Ween and The Flaming Lips. Their music is known for containing lush, multi-layered psychedelic arrangements, with catchy melodies and witty lyrics. Their live show features a bevy of masks and costumes.

Founded by keyboardist Jace McLain and guitarist Kyle Thorne, Nuclear Bubble Wrap began recording home-made demo albums in 2005 before switching to fully-produced studio recordings in 2010. Some of this material was played on the Dr. Demento Show. Using the momentum from several popular viral music videos, the band built a cult following and has played in several cities across the United States. The current iteration of the group is filled out by bassist Stephen Smith and drummer Julia Larson.

2014 saw the release of their immersive, 21-song album, Psycho Delicacy, after a successful Kickstarter campaign. The album marked the transition to the band’s current neo-psychedelic sound. In 2016, they released the follow-up, Multiverses, a diversion into shoegaze and space rock. These albums form the first two parts of a trilogy about anxiety and depression. The final part of this triptych is 2020’s Problem Attic.
