FEEDING FINGERS
Saturday, May 23, 2009 at 2:25PM FEEDING FINGERS
Feeding Fingers is the musical project fronted by award-winning animator/multi-media artist, Justin Curfman. They are a three piece post-punk/goth(ish)/new-wave/dark-wave group whose work is reminiscent of early Cure, Depeche Mode, Echo and the Bunnymen, Cocteau Twins, etc. with their often minimalist and hypnotic percussive elements... droning yet fluid and dynamic bass structures... heavily sustained guitar work... bizarre dream-inspired lyrics... ("...today I found an animal's mouth in a bag of broken hands...") They have a definite appeal to those who crave an element of dark surrealism in their music.

... I suspect that 99% of you will adore this album ("Baby Teeth")...
- MICK MERCER (UK)
Feeding Fingers is a dark and mysterious experience. Subtle in its crudity as it explores the senses. Emotional yet invigorating...stirring.
-ak...of beatlanta
... otherworldly, angst-ridden, haunting...
- Coyote J. (legendary host of "The Edge Radio" WRZZ 99.5FM - USA)
... this band is an interesting discovery... (Feeding Fingers) excels in the composition of quiet, melancholic new-wave tracks... A deep, melancholic mood hangs over the songs... This is the kind of music you had better avoid when having a bad day...
-Side-Line Music Magazine (Brussels)
...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)
... What counts is the ability to stir the senses and Feeding Fingers does that in a somber way... in the simplicity lies much of the beauty...
- Gothtronic (Netherlands)
... 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 post-punk greatness...
- 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)
... Once you’ve inserted ‘Baby Teeth’ in your player you can say goodbye to the normal world for a little while. The feeling I had when listening through this record was that the music of FEEDING FINGERS in some way is disconnected from reality. It evokes own, at times surreal environments... It really is music that puts a spell on you.
- Sebastian Huhn - Reflections of Darkness (Germany)
... 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)
... (Feeding Fingers) sound like the contemporary masters of their genre...
- Dark Entries (Germany)
"Here lies a noble attempt at traditional gothic beauty... 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)
