JEALOUS NOSTRIL
Jealous Nostril record on tape, shoot on film and play live without backing tracks or props. They are a London-based 3 piece consisting of Johnny Borrell (Razorlight/The Libertines/Florence and the Machine) Jack Flanagan (Mystery Jets) and ElliS D (ElliS D.)
The riffs are heavy... but they've never listened to AC/DC and cite Snoop, Dr Dre, Daft Punk, Svaitislav Richter and Damon Albarn as influences. Ok, you can have CAN, Mitch Mitchell and Pixies if you need them.
Debut single PHASE 6 is the group's DNA writ large. Tight but loose, lean but huge, simple and beguiling. Cut at Eastcote studios in London in an afternoon, mixed and mastered the same day, minimal overdubs, all on tape. "I just think it is that simple, bands should sound like bands, most don't these days. When it comes to the process of getting the songs down, we're pretty much more Jack White than Jack White. And performing, yeah, we're total purists. I still think the sound of a band in a room has infinite potential.", says Borrell.
And the name?
"Jealous Nostril, a binary system... One is fulfilled the other isn't" Is it a drug reference? "the half of my north London friends who still party hear it as cocaine, and the half who have been through re-hab, ask me if it's referencing Pranayama yoga breathing. We're definitely neither a coke or a yoga band! I actually think I just wanted a name that would help people under-estimate the band"
