about

Originally released through Vatican Analog.

"This debut by Strict Nurse (aka Leilani Trowell) was recorded at home in the Hague with little more than a synton syrinx synth, a tape looper, and her voice. The sense of dread across the tape is palpable from the get-go, on opener ‘Cazimi’ (a term for when a planet is astrologically aligned with the sun), with a punishing bass wobble cycling onward while Trowell scatters vocal murmurs and ear-piercing shards of static into the mix. Most of the record retains the same subtle sonic daggers, but the defining sense across Erratic is one of odd intimacy.

Perhaps it’s to do with Strict Nurse’s straightforward home-recording methods, but an almost ASMR sense of closeness constantly comes across. Her sounds are subtle, despite being sonically challenging - they groan rather than stab, they rub rather than punch - be it the bubbly synth tones of closing track ‘Bed Pisser’ or overlapping lattice of looped ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ on ‘Buck The Fuck Up’. Like latter day Wolf Eyes or even Throbbing Gristle circa ‘Persuasion’, this is noise music that’s about mood rather than sheer volumes or intensity. It’s tough to know if this is terrifying or comforting music, straddling a threat and a caress as often as it does. I’m erring on the latter - she might be Strict but she’s still a Nurse."
