It’s fitting Portland pop crew Nurses decided to call their new collection Apple’s Acre: They could’ve easily retitled it Apples In Stereo’s Sound. It’s not that the trio doesn’t bring their own details to the Elephant 6 thing — their take’s more obviously lo-fi, raw, strange, and in a song like “Technicolor,” sorta early Devendra Banhart-esque — but the overlaps are there, and should be a treat for folks who enjoy breezy vintage-sounding psychedelia. See, for instance, “Caterpillar Playground.”
