"Born in Olympia, WA and now calling Portland, OR their home, guitarist Jason Buehler and percussionist Mark Shirazi meticulously warp hard funk, psych, soul, dub, angular rock and no-wave noise into a mechanical beast that can take you from dream to dance in 30 seconds flat. The instrumentation is relatively simple: guitar and drums. But it's the endless tap-dancing of effects pedals and rock solid dub beats that make every moment more magical than the last. Recorded entirely in their home studio, most of the tracks are largely improvised, with only basic ideas and motifs to start from. Having played with everyone from Black Dice to Cex to Lightning Bolt to Gold Chains, and thoroughly blowing their minds all the same, Nice Nice are that rare band that seems to equally appeal to the bedroom stoners and Friday night hipsters."

"Nice Nice are from Portland, Oregon. Jason Buehler and Mark Shirazi have been using their guitars, drums, voices, electronics and lots of other stuff to create their 'post-everything modern music' for nearly a decade. By playing countless kinetic live shows around the US, they've honed their unorthodox craft. Extra Wow is an extremely apt title for an album that presents itself as a constantly unfolding collection of kaleidoscopic musical sediments. Each song effectively builds on the one before it to create the effect of an album-length crescendo that encompasses everything from forward-reaching psychedelia and neo-primitive electronic experiments to dub rhythms and learned lessons from the pillars of Krautrock. From the acid-punk opening of 'One Hit,' it's apparent that establishing your equilibrium within the world of Nice Nice will not be easy."
