In November 2012, The Irrepressibles released their second album, Nude. Self-produced by Jamie McDermott, the album similarly received critical acclaim. The Quietus described it as “remarkably varied and unpredictable album” stating that “the results border on the spectacular”. The Independent gave it 4 out of 5 stars, calling it “an act of bravery in a cowardly world” and “swaddled in the most beautiful musical finery”. 2013 saw the release of Nude : Landscapes, the first of three EPs inspired by – and expanding on – the band’s second album. This first EP saw the band take a “minimal symphonic” and “acoustic” direction, as described by McDermott in an interview with QX Magazine. The second EP, Nude : Viscera, released on the February 14, 2014, brings together influences from New Wave, Grunge, and Exotica into a darkly sensual and at times playfully chaotic mix. Initial comparisons have been made to later works of Jeff Buckley, Lou Reed, Pavement, Yma Sumac and early works of PJ Harvey. The third EP, Nude : Forbidden is expanded with the third of the trilogy Nudes Eps – the electronic world of Nude : Forbidden.
