Description

Curve were an English alternative rock and electronic music duo from London, formed in 1990 and split in 2005. The band consisted of Toni Halliday vocals, occasionally guitar and Dean Garcia bass, guitar, drums, programming. Halliday wrote the lyrics of their songs and they both contributed to songwriting. Producer Alan Moulder was a prominent collaborator who helped shape their blend of heavy beats and densely layered guitar tracks set against Hallidays vocals. Following the success of Curves debut fulllength Doppelgnger, which nearly hit the U.K. Top 10, the British group went in a darker, moodier direction with 1993 followup Cuckoo. Opener Missing Link is furious and aggressive, coming closer to Ministrystyle industrial than the groups previous work, but other songs are slower, more atmospheric, and a bit more experimental. Superblaster is a bit closer to the poppiness of Doppelgngers highlights and was released as a single.Cuckoo still stands among the bands best work. Halliday has even stated that she considers it to be Curves best album. Its available as a limited edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on pink amp purple marbled vinyl and includes an insert.
