Nu-Clear Sounds is the second studio album by Ash, released on October 5 1998.
The tone of the album was a noticeable departure from the sound of 1977, having a much darker edge. Reflecting the mood of the band at the time, who were suffering from burn out as a result of near non-stop touring since the release of 1977. Despite this, the songs still contain the trademark elements of Ash songs.
It was the first album by the band to feature new member Charlotte Hatherley.
