Here’s the Bio I Wrote for the New Nebula Album Holy Shit; Album out June 7

I was fortunate enough to be asked to write the bio for the new Nebula album. It’s called Holy Shit — fair enough, at least given my response to its existence, let alone actually hearing the damn thing — and it’ll be out June 7 through Heavy Psych Sounds. I’ve written bios for the likes of Gary Arce, Brant Bjork, Conan, Neurosis, All Them Witches and too many others to count, but I put having a hand, even in this small way, in the first Nebula record in a decade feels pretty special. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to do so. All the more because the record kicks ass.

Album details came through the PR wire just now, and here’s the bio I wrote to go with them. Thanks for reading:

Nebula Holy Shit Bio
22 years after their first release and 10 years after their last album, Nebula are back. And you’re thinking “Holy shit!” right now, you pretty much nailed it.

Holy Shit is Nebula’s first LP since 2009’s Heavy Psych, and it quickly puts to rest the question that’s loomed since guitarist/vocalist Eddie Glass, bassist Tom Davies and drummer Michael Amster announced the band’s reformation in 2017. Nebula are still Nebula.

It’s there in the inimitable space-grunge of “It’s all Over,” or the take-a-drag-and-be-gone “Let’s Get Lost,” or the way “Tomorrow Never Comes” manages to be so, so heavy and laid back at the same time. It’s in the paradise-psych of “Gates of Eden” and even the snoring you hear before the devilish “Man’s Best Friend” kicks in to open the album (the studio couch became a crash spot).

Since the days of 1998’s Let it Burn EP and the now-classic To the Center debut album, Nebula have always been just a little more dangerous. Just a little more unhinged. Holy Shit shows this front-to-back for the essential part of their character it is, and yet it’s not trying to be anything they’ve done before, whether it’s those early outings or Heavy Psych or Charged (2001), Apollo (2003) or Atomic Ritual (2005). It’s a sixth Nebula album — something for which even the most ardent of fans could hardly have hoped.

The basic tracks were done in two days, recorded at Mysterious Mammal Studios in L.A. with Matt Lynch (also of Snail) at the helm. Leads and loops and feedback effects were done live by Glass and Davies as they recorded the basic tracks, just the way they’d do it on stage, and overdubs followed after as needed. A glut of material was produced and whittled down to the core of what you hear here. A sixth Nebula album.

And when you hear it, you’ll find yourself saying that title all over again.

NEBULA is:
Eddie Glass (guitars-vocals)
Tom Davies (bass-backing vocals)
Michael Amster (drums)

    LOVE Nebula, saw them in 2018 at Desertfest and they kicked so much ass. Excited at the prospect of a new album too.

    Great! hehe, is it just me or does the bridge starting at 2:40 slightly resemble stuff from “Cage around the sun” by Monster Magnet ? ;) ;) ;)
