Having formed in 1997, NIPPLES are probably Taiwan's first experimental post-rock group. Their energetic approach to experimental rock and the presence of female bassist KK has earned them comparisons to SONIC YOUTH, yet the laid back, improvisational nature of the music shows that they have much in common with MOGWAI who they shared the stage with in 2004 at the Autumn Tiger Festival. NIPPLES had also been active in a campaign for better public broadcasting on the island before their break-up in 2005. More recently, some members have formed a similar post-rock project called APHASIA.

TRACK LIST:
PACIFICTION REVIEW:The first album by Taiwan's seminal indie group NIPPLES and probably Taiwan's first post-rock release. On "明亮的心情,;" KK's vocals are bright around the chiming guitar sounds that come crashing down amidst destructured beats towards the end. Followed by various tracks of edgy and experimental indie James' Autumn is a perfect addition to your post-rock collection. |
