Immaturity Erik Nervous SKU: FATLP175 Barcode: 0600116517517 22.00 £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Fat Cat Released Date: 1st December 2023 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Most of ‘Immaturity’ was written, as it was recorded, in the basement of Erik’s rural North Eastern Indiana home – the same house he’s lived in all his life. The title of the record reflects Erik’s refusal to grow up. “I don’t think I’m particularly mature for my age,” he says. “I still live at home with my family, I eat fast food and drink soda, I don’t really have an actual job. Very George Costanza.” Song subjects range from anxiety (‘Ninth’, ‘Third Layer’) to astral projection (‘Projector’). “As with most of my music, generally I’m voicing or working through my worries and anxieties with myself, work, other people, and getting through life,” says Erik. ‘Ankle Deep’ and ‘Bottle V Record’ detail Erik’s disliking of alcohol and society’s reverence for it. The former illustrates a desire for life to be about more than “drinking and talking to people,” whilst the latter is about the artists preference to spend twenty bucks on records rather than booze. Lead single ‘Drop Dead’ was, as Erik describes “One of those special ones that just flowed out of my head ready to go,” but the writing process wasn’t always as straightforward. “I’m very procrastinatory when it comes to lyrics, so to rid myself of nearly all distractions, I turned off my WiFi and locked myself in my basement studio for most of a week until I finished writing and recording them,” he says. A big fan of fellow self-taught ‘outsider’ artists, and the DIY ethic, Erik’s sonic armoury contains yellowed plastic Casiotones, Yamaha Portasounds, and a smiling cat-shaped Meowsic keyboard, all purchased from yard sales, Goodwills, and misspelt eBay auctions. These, and a Tyco toy guitar all add to the album’s nostalgic retreat back into a treasured childhood, and its overall irresistible, enthusiasm packed, perhaps tongue-in-cheek, joyful punch. However, don’t let the self-deprecating playfulness fool you. Erik is totally schooled and has serious chops. “Erik Nervous, a name well known amongst all midwest DIY punks” – Post-Trash Artist Erik Nervous Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Fat Cat Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Ninth Ankle Deep Drop Dead Pretentious Instrumental Innanet Heemgeh Comfortable Lies She Was A Hotel Detective Projector Third Layer Alligator Facing East Bottle vs Record Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Matt's picks View Product Quick View Bully Lucky For You Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Sub Pop | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 2nd June 2023 £19.00 - £20.00 Select options Reserve View Reservations Bully Lucky For You £19.00 - £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Sub Pop Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 2nd June 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Select options View Product Quick View te¯te¯ma necroscape Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Ipecac | 1LP Released 3rd April 2020 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders te¯te¯ma necroscape £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Ipecac SKU: IPC219LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd April 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matt's picks View Product Quick View Martha Love Keeps Kicking (Indies Only) Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Big Scary Monsters | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 3rd April 2019 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Martha Love Keeps Kicking (Indies Only) £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Big Scary Monsters SKU: BSM249V1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 3rd April 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Warfaring Strangers: Acid Nightmares Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Numero Group | 2LP Released 27th March 2019 £31.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Warfaring Strangers: Acid Nightmares £31.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Numero Group SKU: NUM68LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 27th March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bertie Marshall Exhibit Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Upset The Rhythm | 180g, 1LP Released 29th October 2021 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bertie Marshall Exhibit £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Upset The Rhythm SKU: UTR138 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 29th October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hives, The Live at Third Man Records Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Third Man Records | 1LP Released 25th September 2020 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hives, The Live at Third Man Records £15.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Third Man Records SKU: TMR639V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th September 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dune Rats Real Rare Whale Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | BMG | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 26th August 2022 £20.00 - £24.00 Select options Dune Rats Real Rare Whale £20.00 - £24.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: BMG Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 26th August 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Trophy Eyes Chemical Miracle Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Hopeless Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th February 2024 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Trophy Eyes Chemical Miracle £26.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Hopeless Records SKU: HR7020-1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 9th February 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Idles Brutalism Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Partisan Records | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 23rd June 2017 £19.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Idles Brutalism £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Partisan Records SKU: PTKF2155-1 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 23rd June 2017 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Sick Of It All Scratch The Surface Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 17th February 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sick Of It All Scratch The Surface £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP992 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 17th February 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Start again
