God's Pale Nun

God's Pale Nun is the sophomore effort from Omaha-based Busy Busy Busy, the eponymous brainchild of time-challenged ringleader Paul.

The follow-up to 2007's 40 days and 39 nights - either a playful collection of songs about hotels and John the Baptist or else an epic meditation on Paul Gauguin in Tahiti - God's Pale Nun's six rollicking gems turn BBB's laser-like gaze to more classic pop topics. Specifically to girls, monks, and firetrucks.

Continually operating at the fulcrum between lush, almost sappy romanticism and a mode of discourse which might be approximated by "a very peculiar attempt at irony," God's Pale Nun manages to evoke the heroic pop tradition from at least one novelly oblique angle, and possibly up to six.

God's Pale Nun, the consummate extimate garb for a highly intimate sentiment, is yours for the taking.
