Hangin' Nothin' but Our Hands Down is the debut album by Portland-based indie rock band Nurses, self-released in 2006.[3] It was re-released by Sargent House in 2007.[4]
Critical reception
[edit]Pitchfork Media wrote that the album "comes with its own set of eccentricities to justify an otherwise grandiose, ambitious, Radiohead/Muse sound."[2] The Chicago Tribune called it "an impressive opening shot, swinging from the ramshackle, back-porch country of 'Marching In Places' to 'And Now the Curse of Marjorie,' which layers on twitchy riffs and stuttered drums until it sounds like Chapman is performing in a futuristic construction zone."[4]
