A weirdo homage to the great old inspirational works of Nurse With Wound (the name was taken from a Nurse With Wound T-shirt), it is also a surreal musical twist on the art of B. Kliban. The art of satirical cartoonist Kliban features strongly as an influence in the Diana Rogerson era of Nurse With Wound, her famous words "Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head" being the title of a brilliant Kliban book. So, "The Poignant Device" can be seen as the spiritual son/cousin (once removed) heir to "Sylvie & Babs" and "Cooloorta Moon" era Nurse With Wound, whilst it is also a pioneering explorative album in its own right.The brainchild of Tachyon Studio brothers Alan & Steve Freeman (from Alto Stratus and Endgame) The Newt Hounds' debut covers a lot of ground, from the totally potty, via pure avant-garde through to psychedelic rock and other realms, and features guest appearances from Shapeshifter and Volcano The Bear members.
