House of Nimrod EP (1967-68)


Coming out of Auckland, New Zealand, House of Nimrod were Bryce Petersen, Johnny Breslin, Billy Lawton, Tony Pilcher, and Larry Latimer. All songs, from what I gather, were written by Petersen, a children's songwriter. That's about all I know. This EP gathers all four songs recorded under the House of Nimrod moniker and they're good as hell. Some serious phasing used, to great effect I might add, on "Slightly Delic". All four songs are concise nuggets of psych-pop.
I think you'll like it.

Tracklist
1. Slightly Delic
2. Reflections of Our Time
3. Psychothartic
4. Ragged Patch

  2. The guitarist Tony Pilcher passed away suddenly on January of 2011. Tony gave up performing music which was his main love in life to raise me as a single parent. He will be dearly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

    He didn't have a copy of this EP in his own collection so I thank you for the chance to hear it
