Vasopressin presents On the Edge of the Outside, collecting four works by Nurse With Wound — three composed in response to texts by Kafka, Tzara, and Forneret, one previously unreleased — on vinyl for the first time. Electroacoustic abstraction, minimalist drones, and grimy ambience, in a limited edition of 300 black and 100 clear vinyl copies.
** Edition of 100 copies pressed on 180g, Clear Vinyl, housed in a pro-printed jacket + insert ** Vasopressin returns with the second installment of their dedicated series bringing Nurse With Wound's contemporary output to vinyl — and it is, if anything, even more extraordinary than what came before. On the Edge of the Outside gathers three works previously issued as 3" CDs alongside literary editions published by the French imprint Lenka lente, each "conceived in intimate response to literary texts - yet entirely self-sufficient as autonomous sonic experiences": Kafka's Parachute (2017), composed in dialogue with Franz Kafka's Rapport à une Académie; On the Edge of the Outside (2020), drawn from Tristan Tzara's Minuits pour Géants; and We Are the Dead Men (2025), accompanying Xavier Forneret's Le Diamant de l'Herb. To these is added None and a Star Stand (untitled lament), a piece whose origins remain close to the same Lenka lente orbit — appearing here, as does the entire collection, in its vinyl debut.

Across two sides, the record maps a vast and quietly staggering emotional and sonic terrain. Kafka's Parachute opens proceedings with howling recitations and a knotted palette of electroacoustic abstraction, channeling something close to concrete poetry in its most visceral, unsettling form. The second side then opens with None and a Star Stand — a breath of grimy, luminous release — eleven minutes of shifting textures that feel restless and alive without ever resolving into event, before We Are the Dead Men descends deeper still, unfurling at glacial pace through overlapping drones and harmonics of rare, disquieting beauty. The closing title track moves from ripping feedback through swirling resonances and sparse piano tones before dissolving back into abrasion, completing a journey that feels as much literary as sonic.

Featuring Steven Stapleton alongside collaborators Colin Potter, Andrew Liles, Matt Waldron, James Worse, and Quentin Rollet, On the Edge of the Outside stands as proof that after nearly five decades, Nurse With Wound remains one of the few forces in music genuinely capable of making the world sound like somewhere you have never been before. Issued by Vasopressin, the Milan-based label founded by Matteo Moschettoni, in a limited edition of 300 copies on black vinyl and 100 on clear vinyl, both complemented by a 12" insert.
