A collection of raw, ragged, home-recorded originals from the down-home prolific mind of Omaha’s top talent David Nance. Originally slated for a 2017 release on Richie Records, the tunes were shelved in favor of some comparatively slicker recordings with Nance’s fleshed out band for what would become the Peaced & Slightly Pulverized on the Trouble in Mind label. Only a fool would find fault with that album. Nevertheless, this one (with a confusingly similar title to that other release) is a ripping, screaming, blown-out affair that comes out the gates salty and hungry for blood on “Ham Sandwich” and it never seems to lose its appetite. Conceived and recorded within a single work week, with our blue-collar Nance setting up all the microphones, playing all the instruments, and riding all the faders, Pulverized & Slightly Peaced contains all the elements that we at Petty Bunco admire in music: the tried and true Rn’R instruments lovingly misused to create a vital ragged sound dripping with personality and verve. And along with it all: Nance’s unmistakable soulful howl. To wit: the sidelong “Amethyst”, should go down as this era’s Broken Arrow, a tune with twists and turns and a cathartic climax that’ll inspire air-guitar heroics and repeated needle drops over and over and over again.
SUBTERRANEAN ANGRY OAF, PRE-BLUES TROLL, WENT FULL MORON AND LAYED INTO THE TASCAM 414 AFTER A HARROWING EXPERIENCE AT A PROFESSIONAL RECORDING STUDIO. LATER, PULVERIZED GOT PEACED AND PEACED GOT PULVERIZED. BUT THIS WAS BEFORE THAT. THIS WAS STILL CRAWL-BEFORE-WALK TERRITORY. I THINK A DONKEY OR A MAJOR HAD BEEN UNINTENTIONALLY COMPASSING MY PATH, BUT I WOULDN’T BLAME THEM FOR THAT. I MEAN, WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE DRY TURKEY OR ROAST FUCKING GOOSE?

Her voice, the vulnerability within, and a glorious sound, not overproduced but natural. 'Tender Heart' gets me - resonates in a way that is sad and glorious simultaneously. Discordant guitars behind a clean acoustic and voice ballad. Love her voice, her lyrics. Great album. BikeBoy29

Bright gray sheets of roaring and shimmering guitar held aloft by a delicate web of percussion. Post-rock, shoegaze, psych- rock and hints of bluesy folk, all audible and enmeshed. IlsaJ
