Out Of Hand Out Of Hand
This is the more "pop / dance" side of NURVIS. Upbeat synthpop with a catchy chorus (with a touch of melancholy thrown in for good measure).
I'm Sorry I'm Sorry
A mid-tempo and somewhat dark synthpop song about losing faith in someone after too many empty apologies.
Missing Missing
A dark, driving, mid-tempo song with veiled references to childhood fears and parental abuse.
Plastic Plastic
A new track from our upcoming second album. Dark and moody during the verse, but more synthpop when the chorus comes around.
Warm Eyes Warm Eyes
This is the first NURVIS song. The idea was from a song I wrote in 1989. That version had lyrics and vocals by my sister, Julie. When NURVIS was formed, I re-did the music, and Susan added some of her own lyrics and vocal melody ideas.

Sort of Erasure / New Order (musically) but with female vocals - ranging from sweet to angry.
Best described as darkwave/synthpop with a twisted lyrical edge. The music of NURVIS combines 80's and 90's influences with contemporary electronic styles. In other words, NURVIS try to embrace those things from the past that got them into music, yet incorporate new sounds and new ideas to create something original and timely.Band/artist history
Formed in 1996, after Paul placed a classified ad in a local music magazine looking for a vocalist. Susan responded (among others who were far less qualified), and the writing went well from the start.Have you performed in front of an audience?We are looking to do some live shows this summer in the Los Angeles, California area.

Hey Paul! Just saying hi ... :) Hope things are going well with NURVIS.
Welcome to the NURVIS message board. We're just starting to get things set up here on SoundClick, after the whole mp3.com thing went away (we were quite active there). Look for more songs in the coming weeks, as well as information about our second album (currently in the works), as well as information on some compilations we'll be featured on.
