The Nudes

Release Date: September 19, 2000

The Nudes (Pele's fourth album) expands upon the solid territory that 1999's Elephant established.

Pele's guitarist, Chris Rosenau, recorded The Nudes in various living rooms and basements. Besides his prolific guitar work, his engineering portfolio is also extensive, having recorded the likes of Vermont, Camden, The Promise Ring, Paris, Texas, and others, as well as being at the helm of all past Pele releases.

Jon Mueller (who along with Rosenau is also a member of Collections of Colonies of Bees and Volcano Choir) plays drums, percussion, and keyboard. Matt Tennessen (Ezra Pound, Paris, Texas) provides bass.

Pele would like you to buy The Nudes, put it on and have a cup of coffee, eat 5 lbs. of lasagna, or hit the streets and pick a fight with a stranger.

Whatever your state of mind, The Nudes will complement and enhance it, leaving you with a memorable feeling of self-satisfaction.

    - Hear/Say
  • Every song is beautiful and laid bare so expressively.

    - Shredding Paper
  • Pele'smusic has always simultaneously perplexed, relaxed, and impressed me. The Nudes guides the listener through afantastically organic musical otherworld that's miles away from anywhere you'veever been before.

    - Splendid
  • In all honesty, this record is amazing.

    - Lost at Sea
  • Turn this album up really loud as you'remaking dinner or doing the laundry and it almost becomes the soundtrack to yourlife. Like those great little instrumentals that occur between scene changes inmovies, except an entire album of ‘em.

    - Heckler
  • Their sound is like a living body, breathingand growing and learning. Each song takes you on a trip through the world as ithappens.

    - PopMatters
  • If you love music, then add this one to yourcollection immediately.

    - Offbeat
  • The music is delicate and fierce, a hardcombination to capture. It's got heart and an edge.
