Feeding Fingers

Feeding Fingers is a trio fronted by multimedia artist, musician, author and animator, Justin Curfman. The band was founded in 2006 in Atlanta, Georgia, but has since relocated to Germany. From the spring of 2010 in Cologne, Curfman began production on what was to become band’s fourth, full-length album release, The Occupant. Throughout the production of “The Occupant”, Curfman enlisted assistance not only from his band, but from the Salzburg Boys Choir, a Serbian female violinist, a Cuban female cellist and an American electronic musician – all of which appearing on the album. Additionally, in an effort to “expand the musical vocabulary of the group”, Curfman strayed away from Feeding Fingers’ more familiar guitar, drum and bass-driven pieces… 256 kbps | 84 MB | UL | CL | MC …(though not entirely) in favor of composing music on a theremin, kalimbas, glockenspiels, a ukulele, an array of pianos and a hand-cranked, punch-card music box. Curfman has also expanded not only the group’s vocabulary, but the group’s language itself with the inclusion of the opening track on the album, “Eine Einladung in Ihr Gesicht mit Liebe geschnitzt” – a song written by Curfman, entirely in German and performed by a soloist member of the Salzburg Boys Choir. Despite this description of Feeding Fingers’ seemingly much-too divergent latest release, this fourth album will, no doubt, rest well within the group’s catalog. Found easily within each of the album’s eleven tracks are all of the characteristic elements that make a Feeding Fingers release a Feeding Fingers release. Those familiar with the group’s ability to, “resonate with a certain tragic and ethereal beauty” (Don’t Panic, Singapore) and to craft, “specific… authentic… personal… heart-heavy” (LabelLos, Germany) music will not be disappointed. For the uninitiated, be prepared to experience a, “beautiful album that grabs you by the throat from the first note until the last…”
