Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Craig Leon, 'Nurds' finds the sibling trio The Roches continuing to blend their impeccable three-part vocal harmonies with idiosyncratic, witty songwriting. The album slightly expands upon the acoustic intimacy of their debut, incorporating subtle rock and new wave instrumentation without losing their signature eccentric charm. It remains a beloved cult classic in the American folk-pop canon.
