Nurses is an American, Portland-based Avant-pop group with vocals, guitar, and keyboard. Their sound is often categorized as psychedelic pop[1] The duo joined Dead Oceans Records on May 21, 2009 and released two albums via Dead Oceans, with being issued on August 4, 2009 (August 24 in the UK).[2] They have been described as a shaggy younger sibling of Animal Collective singing with the sound of dreamy harmonies, carnival organs, slightly out-of-tune pianos and basic percussion from a lone snare or tambourine and received a 7.2 rating from Pitchfork.[3] While Dracula was released on September 20, 2011.[4]

Nurses toured with the Swedish folk musician The Tallest Man on Earth in 2010,[5] and Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks in February 2012 [6]

A$AP Rocky and members of A$AP Mob freestyled over Nurses' track "You Lookin' Twice" for Pitchfork's Selector in December 2011.[7]

"Yours to Keep" will be the closing track from Naughtyland, their latest album, which is due to be released on October 6, 2017.[8]
