NUN // Pick Up the Phone




Formed in late 2011, Nun started life as a recording project for members Jenny Branagan, Tom Hardisty (Woollen Kits), Steven Harris and Hugh Young (Constant Mongrel / Hamhock). The group formed over a shared love of bands such as Iron Curtain, Sixx, Coil, Throbbing Gristle, Snowy Red, John Carpenter, Goblin and Christian Death. 

The band also draw aesthetic influence from 80’s BBC sci-fi dramas such as Threads, the children's occult classic Moondial, British 70's horror films such as Blood on Satan’s Claw, Carpenter’s classic They Live and Cronenberg's Videodrome, as well as the esoteric imagery of books such as Readers Digest: Strange Stories & Amazing Facts, where images of possession, stigmata, spirit photography and apparitions sit beside tales of the Loch Ness Monster and moving statues.




INSPIRED BY BLEAK DISCO, PARANOIA AND BUCKY FULLER.

Pick Up the Phone is the second single from NUN's second album, The Dome coming out November 2018 via Aarght Records.

Filmed, directed & edited by Sagan Productions (Bryce Maher and Jenny Branagan).
