CIAN NUGENT is a guitar player and composer from Dublin, Ireland who combines personal passions, such as squicky pre-war blues, traditional musics, late 1960s & '70s singer-songwriters, jazz ambitions, modern composition and the Takoma school into a deeply personal style. His music boasts an orchestrated and fully instrumented sound that is playful and eerie at the same time.
Debut studio album Doubles came out in June 2011 on US label VHF.

"Nugent smartly focuses on developing a pair of immersive environments that are continuously compelling for more than 20 minutes at a time. He nails it.”
-- Grayson Currin, Pitchfork, 7.7 rating.
"Nugent's already mastered dynamics tone and articulation. He introduces each new melody or change of emotional tenor at precisely the right moment to keep you on the edge with him, and his tunes are sturdy and lovely things [...] Mighty good."
-- Bill Meyer, The Wire

EUROPEAN SENSORIA BAND (Formerly E+S=B, Electronic Sensoria Band) was formed when
long-time Wormhole fan Fergus Cullen asked twin brothers Anthony and
David Carroll to play with him at legendary Dublin improv club
Lazybird. Ditching the guitars in favour of casio keyboards and adding
electro-drumpad player Adrienne Flynn of Memory Cells, E+S=B was born.
With releases on their own Last Of Our Kind label as well as Deserted
Village and Ninepoint records they have played and recorded with the
likes of Damo Suzuki (CAN) and Itaru Oki among others. Since then,
taking more and more inspiration from the American Free jazz scene of
the 60s, E+S=B have scaled down to a three piece line-up consisting of
Fergus on guitar and clarinet, Dave and Anthony on drums and bass.
