This is a beautiful record... Legendary Post-Punk / Dark-Wave Radio Personality, Coyote J, Reviews Detach Me From My Head : On Detach Me From My Head the new and third studio album from Feeding Fingers: It was a cool night here with a hint of autumn in the air... The first thing that jumped out at me on this album was the immediacy of Justin Curfman s vocals. This, I believe, is the first Feeding Fingers release that comes closest to replicating how strong and full bodied Curfman s voice is live a pleasant surprise I must say. The sequencing of the tracks seem near perfect here as well. Even though a number of producers worked on this record with Feeding Fingers, the sense of continuity in the recording is remarkably consistent and pleasing. Interestingly, the album sounds wonderful cranked, but because it is recorded a bit hot, the album also sounds extremely pleasing at lower levels too a strange phenomena I have rarely come across in all of my years and my millions of hours as a listener a positive? a negative ? who knows? But it s great. Enough on the technical aspect... This is a beautiful record. What is curious is, on this release, the band and Curfman s vision, is somehow different and quite separate from Feeding Fingers first two efforts, Wound in Wall and Baby Teeth . Detach Me From My Head is definitely Feeding Fingers most fully realized work to date. This I find extremely exciting because it is obvious this project is moving forward, rather than becoming bloated or stuck in a rut. Album #3 has the melancholy and beauty of the earlier efforts, yet there is a mastery at work here that I feel is was not quite achieved on Wound in Wall (which, although an amazing work, also sounds like, well, what it is: separate ideas with different inspirations strung together to create the whole), or Baby Teeth , which I believe can be described as a wonderful disaster, with fragments of wonderfully snarky ideas only hinted at, but never fully developed. No such short comings are to be found on this brilliant, brilliant third effort, Detach Me from My Head .
