Nudge Biography
The IDM-meets-post-rock collective Nudge features multi-instrumentalists Brian Foote and Paul Dickow and vocalist Honey Owens as its creative core, and features members of likeminded bands such as Fontanelle, Jessamine, Sunn, Emergency and Nice Nice as collaborators. The group formed in the late '90s and embarked on extensive jam sessions that were later cut and pasted into a glitchy fusion of live and programmed performances. This modus operandi was evident on Nudge's first album, 2002's Trick Doubt, which was released by Foote's label Outward Music Company. The following year saw the release of Elaborate Devices for Filtering Crisis, a more intricate affair that was issued by Tigerbeat6. In 2005, they made the jump to Kranky for their next album, Cached. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
