Product Details The Feeding Fingers were formed in 2006 when musician and surrealist stop-motion puppet film animator, Justin Curfman, found himself with a catalog of music that he had written with the intention of being a soundtrack for a film that was never released. Curfman realized that he had more music than films to marry it to. Rather than scrapping it, he decided to form a band with the support of multi-instrumentalist Todd Caras and percussionist Daniel Hunt which became the Feeding Fingers. In 2007 the debut album wound in wall was released which garnered interest from those who paid attention. During the summer of 2008 The Feeding Fingers spent four months recording their sophomore album Baby Teeth . With Baby Teeth , the group has collaborated and recorded a collection of music whose initial intent is to stand on its own two feet as a work in its own right and not as a by-product of Curfman s over-reaching ambition. Baby Teeth is the first proper Feeding Fingers album. The Feeding Fingers are frequently compared to Joy Division, Cocteau Twins, The Cure, The Chameleons, Bauhaus, and the like. Within the darker spectrum of the post-punk sub-genre, the Feeding Fingers have a definite appeal to those who crave an element of dark surrealism in their music.
Product Reviews (5 stars) - "... otherworldly, angst-ridden, haunting..." "... otherworldly, angst-ridden, haunting..."
- Coyote J. (legendary host of "The Edge Radio" WZRR 99.5FM) - USA
"...a true revelation to the ears of the undersigned... (Feeding Fingers) is at the top of the new post-punk from the States that combines tribal Batcave old-school, synthetic minimalism and'80s new wave pop... this band combines the DNA of Blood & Roses, Einsturzende Neubatuen and The Killers ..."
- Erba della Strega (Italy)
"... this album firmly places Feeding Fingers in a multi-talented niche of their own... evokes, like none other, the authentic and classic sounds that smacks of The Cocteau Twins, Siousxie and the Banshees and The Cure..."
- Fiend Magazine (Australia)
"...Baby Teeth is an honorable effort to appease those of us who like to have a great time feeling miserable..."
-Evil Sponge (USA)
"... darkly romantic... full of throbbing, single-note bass, alternately soaring and screeching guitar lines, icy-cold drum lines and vocals which are a mourning wail... I like this a whole hell of a lot."
-Gordon Lamb (Flagpole Magazine) - USA
"Here lies a noble attempt at traditional gothic beauty. With an obvious nod to bands like The Cure, Curfman's mournful cries echo in the distance, veiled in a gauze of reverb... standout track "Fireflies Make Us Sick" might as well have been written by Depeche Mode themselves... unusual versatility... Curfman proves he can wallow with the best of them or move you to the dance floor."
-Michelle Gilzenrat (Performer Magazine) - USA
"... distant and shadowy, yet not necessarily pop-averse... makes for perfect listening during post-midnight hours...
- Stomp & Stammer (USA)
"... finally a band that has achieved the unachievable: bringing us back to the sound of the early 80's... I literally had goosebumps when I heard his voice... Justin Curfman gives everything he's got and it's so beautiful I almost have to cry..."
- Linda Schenkel & Michiel Klompen (MusicMeter - Netherlands)
"... this is a very addictive album..."
- Bat-Cave (Poland)
"...gives us that dim, melancholy feeling our inner '80s teenagers desire." -
- Babble & Beat Magazine (USA)
"... this is almost like hearing the band say "We know you've been waiting for this and now the wait is finally over." It has all the qualities that made the best songs on (their first album) "Wound in Wall great", from the throbbing bass-lines to the inspired use of keyboards. Justin Curfman's voice has the same ethereal, near-possessed quality that it had before, yet it feels fresher..."
- Patrik Renholm (Finland)
(5 stars) - ... otherworldly, angst-ridden, haunting... "Post-punk, dark wave provocateurs, Feeding Fingers return with 'Baby Teeth', the follow-up to their widely-acclaimed 2007 effort 'Wound In Wall' yet another fine disc of stripped and naked minimalist post punk... immediately tells the listener that the skies have turned gray, the leaves are turning brown, and snow clouds are billowing on the horizon 'until the end of time... 'Baby Teeth' is the quintessential winter disc for cold and rainy December afternoons... sad, but somehow celebratory tones... mournful and lovely... successfully channeling some of the better moments from Depeche Mode with all the Curfman touches fans have come to expect on a Feeding Fingers disc... maintains a mournful, yet peaceful vibe, occasionally channeling some unexpected moments (such as the driving claustrophobia and paranoia inherent in the stellar track 'No Movement in Water'), as well as the quiet elegance and impending doom of 'Plain Faced Afternoons'."
- Coyote J. at WRZZ-FM & The Birmingham Weekly (USA)
"... this album firmly places Feeding Fingers in a multi-talented niche of their own... evokes, like none other, the authentic and classic sounds that smacks of The Cocteau Twins, Siousxie and the Banshees and The Cure..."
- Fiend Magazine (Australia)
"... finally a band that has achieved the unachievable: bringing us back to the sound of the early 80's, clearly influenced by bands from that era but without copying. Feeding Fingers has a very distinctive sound of their own with a singer with an incredible voice... I literally had goosebumps when I heard his voice on 'This Isn't Enough', such power but so controlled, wow!"
- Linda Schenkel (Musicmeter - Holland)
"... on this album Justin Curfman gives everything he's got and it's so beautiful I almost have to cry..."
-Michiel Klompen (Netherlands)
has the same ethereal, near-possessed, quality that it had before, yet it feels fresher than before... proves that Feeding Fingers is as good as ever... beautiful and dark dreamy post-punk but also demonstrates that they... have a lot of potential for expanding their repertoire.
- Patrik Renholm (Finland)
