Curve Artist Snapshot:

A British duo consisting of vocalist Toni Halliday and guitarist Dean Garcia, Curve served as sort of a Blondie for the early 1990s shoegaze/techno set. Both dreamy and aggressive, sometimes at the same time, the band channeled My Bloody Valentine's noisy guitar drones into danceable, beat-driven tunes that featured Halliday's sultry cooing. Although Curve went on hiatus in the mid-`90s, it returned with 1998's COME CLEAN, proving that it still had a thing or two to teach obvious successors such as Garbage.

Review

Rolling Stone (5/14/92, p.105) - 3.5 Stars - Good - "..Curve are brilliant and harrowing...rock ripe for the dancing, grunge that sparkles as it churns...DOPPELGANGER is like a fuzzy nightmare from which you wake up dancing.."
Spin (4/92, p.92) - Highly Recommended - "..more than lives up to the promise the band showed on its EPs...stratospheric, Sensurround sound- scapes, with lush guitars, hypnotic melodies...wondrous, psychotropic flower of an album.."
Q (12/99, p.171) - Included in Q Magazine's Best Gothic Albums Of All Time
Q (4/92, p.71) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "..instantly addictive, melodic intensity...Halliday's voice is terrifically sensual and seductive.."
Musician (5/92, p.90) - "..A singularly entrancing album.." Option (July-Aug/92, p.96) - "..this crucial record pulls down my pants and taunts me.."

Title Note

Curve: Toni Halliday (vocals); Dean Garcia (guitar, keyboards, bass, drum programming); Debbie Smith, Alex Mitchell, Alan Moulder (guitar); Monti (drums).

Recorded at Todal Studios in Kilburn during July and October, 1991.

Following the indie chart success of several style-defining singles and EPs, British shoegaze band Curve released DOPPELGANGER, their 1992 debut album. Combining candy-coated pop with a whirlpool of feedback and noise, the album achieved a surprisingly rapturous commercial response at the dawn of the grunge era. Mining similar territory to the torrential guitar squall of groups like My Bloody Valentine, Ride, and Chapterhouse, the band added propulsive electronic beats and the comely vocals of singer Toni Halliday, lending a glossy pop appeal to otherwise unrelentingly strident aural textures.
