Crooked Fingers: Breaks in the Armor

Bachmann may be taking a stark look at things, but rarely had bleakness sounded so appealing.

Tuesday, January 25 2011

Crooked Fingers: Reservoir Songs II

Probably not the release to start with for the uninitiated, but those already under the spell of Crooked Fingers will find much to enjoy.

Tuesday, October 7 2008

Crooked Fingers: Forfeit/Fortune

The overly produced Forfeit/Fortune has some gems, but sounds more distanced than it should, working against Bachmann's usual strength for intimacy.

Thursday, February 24 2005

Crooked Fingers: Dignity and Shame

The fourth full-length album from Eric Bachmann and Co. is unabashedly hopeful, shaking awake the sleeping promises in human compassion.
