1.	The Gaze 04:10	lyrics	buy track
I watched the way you moved, I knew I’d get close to you And I watched and watched and watched I knew I’d get close to you. You watched me and I watched you Eyes locked, you danced closer to me You spun and spun and spun We both knew we had to touch. Our lips touched that night Something came to life, It felt so right You left me craving, dreaming of you At my side, it felt so right…..it felt so right.
2.	A Man Is... 05:06	lyrics	buy track
I've heard you've talked about what a man is supposed to be. I doubt you know what a man's supposed to be. I don't care what your daddy says I don't care what your momma says I doubt you know what a man is supposed to be. I doubt you know what a man is supposed to be. I'd rather hear what the dead have to say to me. I'd rather hear what the dead have to say to me. I'd rather hear songs from the dead You see, you breathe, you breathe, you breathe...but you don't know how to live.

about

NRRRV marks the first official solo endeavour of Limp Wrist/Los Crudos frontman Martin Sorrondeguy. Written and produced entirely by Sorrondeguy himself, the project finds the legendary hardcore iconoclast continuing where his band Limp Wrist left off on their 2017 record, Facades. In what was potentially their punkest move to date, the band pulled a stylistic 180, unleashing a series of hard-edged electronic dance-floor tracks on their devout, yet unsuspecting fans.

Where those tracks featured cold, hard beats, NRRRV introduces a surprisingly softer sound, with Sorrondeguy’s gauzy, mournful vocals almost unrecognizable to what one would expect from his decades-long career as a singer and performer.

With NRRRV, the distinctive, confrontational punk faggotry of Sorrondeguy’s other projects peaks through, albeit in the sexy, dreamlike guise of this two-track release. The song "The Gaze" expertly inhabits the sensation of a cruisey, sweat-soaked dance floor, the singer longingly craving the touch of a stranger, a ritualistic hot gay encounter, which for so many reasons in 2020 feels like a sullen, distant fantasy.

On “A Man Is...”, Sorrondeguy revisits a poem he wrote back in the days fronting another pioneering hardcore group, Los Crudos. The sparse, menacing track explores themes of gender-perception and masculinity, which the singer has made a career of interrogating. The song operates as an extension of the conversation to which Sorrondeguy remains at the forefront of, exploring the malleability of our concept of gender that, while deeply part of the Queer experience, is only just beginning to be tangled out in mass, hetero-dominant culture.

Within these increasingly intangible, transformational times, NRRRV exists within the realm of the physical. Gay bodies. The history of code, and heavy glances collide with an unmappable future of touch.

In two very different approaches, the NRRRV EP gestures an aptly timed reminder that the Queer experience thrives in the underbelly, and the sacredness of the indefinable. (Kevin Hegge)

It’s refreshing. They are a solid Punk band who’s not afraid to make people dance. Special Interest understands that PunkRock and Disco are the best lovers. The Passion Of is passionate sh*tkickers making great sounds with a spirt of genuine activism. It’s on my top 5 releases of 2020. DxNxxL
