    • !

      Hammering out a wall of skittering percussion, Nervous Cop's assault by tom-tom conjures these late-night exercises in caffeinated stamina. On the debut release from the side project of Hella's Zach Hill and Deerhoof's Greg Saunier, Nervous Cop beat out a William Hooker impersonation for a little over a half hour then call it a day. The clashing/smashing smackdown pauses once or twice to allow a plucked or ringing harp jam from Joanna Newsom of The Please (who after two beautifully countrified self-released solo discs, has something coming out on Drag City sometime in 2004) and run-of-the-mill digital twiddling from electro-acoustic composer John Dieterich, also of Deerhoof.

  • I heave the Nervous Cop

    album. It is Zach Hill (and Greg - Deerhoof), and so its more noise related than folky plucking. Newsoms input sounds pretty minimal and in the background whereas the other instruments dominate.

  • She's only in two Nervous Cop songs

    on their album. Which isn't very good, sadly.

    She played keyboards in The Pleased. I think it was her ex's band? Haven't heard them, though.

    • her ex

      the one who is blatantly supposed to be the monkey in monkey and bear?

      • I have no clue.

        • didn't she used to be in Golden Shoulders?

          They're good.

          • yeah

            she did a song. I haven't heard that either!

            Omgz1one @thephotobooth | 1 Sep '07, 00:25 | X
    • Her ex was Noah Georgeson

      and yep, they were both members of The Pleased (I haven't heard anything by them either). Noah was also producer for 'The Milk-Eyed Mender'.
