A constant feeling I’m in the way Buzzing round your Head again Please don’t take offence I’m compelled to be A source of peoples’ aggravation Bathing in the sun Has never been much fun Flying round in Squares again Heat from sunshine Drives me insane Cooling hands and feet Soothing to the touch Easing any aggravation Seeing people with sunscreen Enjoying sun Leaves him feeling vulnerable And needing some In the evening My time has come Plans and scheming Enough is done Seize this chance in hand When they pop that lid I’m diving for that soothing lotion Bathing in the sun Has never been so fun With his plan now all conceived He starts to breath The smallest sighs of some relief But they’re so short lived The sense of cooling Begins to fade Replaced by sinking Beneath a wave A white and gloopy end Drowning in this ooze I’d change for any aggravation Bathing in the sun Will never be as fun With his plan now all complete We start to see The folly of his way To achieve relief Unexpectedly He met his end And there for we propose Ointment for flies

about

The final release in the Triple Burst saga and also the farewell CD for Antique Seeking Nuns, Careful! It’s Tepid is perhaps the most cohesive of all of the three EPs, featuring some of the very best examples of the Nuns highly progressive instrumental compositions, framed at the beginning and end by two songs of a lyrically whimsical nature set to some of Baber and Winks’ most harmonically fascinating music yet. This is also the best sounding Nuns EP having been recorded during the same sessions that produced Songs For Days, although a few sonic elements remain from the earliest Mild Profundities sessions. The EP starts in as simple a way as possible – just acoustic guitar and voice – and over the course of 20 minutes unleashes all manner of instrumental combinations: a nostalgic string quartet blends with childlike glockenspiel and chiming guitars in The Foulness! The Stench!, deranged drums and vibraphone manically dance around slide guitar and distorted bass in Dead Cheese, and wobbly synth textures cushion what sounds like a chorus of mandolins as strange film dialogue interrupts the proceedings in Bearded Bag Lady. Careful! It’s Tepid makes a fitting finale for the Triple Burst trilogy and the Nuns project in general.
