CURTAIN TWITCHER | Leap The Dips - Expected Wed
CTLP01
Tracklist:
Pretty crazy stuff, check the blurb to explain!..... RIP James Hamilton btw.
"Love it! Electronic wonkiness at its finest" - Richard Norris (The Grid).
Curtain Twitcher could only have emerged from Sheffield. A female electronic duo whose corrupted downtempo post Balearic chug pulses and wobbles, throbs and twitches - full of fat noises and bolshy Moogery.
It's human and appealingly analogue. More Delia Derbyshire's Radiophonic Workshop than DAF, More Tangerine Dream than Depeche Mode. Not your average bloketronica.
Frankly this music doesn't behave itself in any way you might expect. Plugged in post rave pop can be far too orderly. Music should be messy. Even on occasion revealing a tune your mum could hum.
'The Fourth Door' is an English electric meditation that feels organic and effortless. It pairs nicely with 'The Perfect Light' - which suggests the dreaminess of early Kraftwerk, Krautrock and Cluster.
'Migration' and lead track 'Northern Flicker' are hazily nostalgic acidic squelchers, to summon the great dance music reviewer James Hamilton!
Sophie Stone and Grace Griffin's creative and collaborative friendship goes back to the days of influential underground Sheffield venue, Club 60.
In 2021 they released an album as Surreal Appeal called "Gently Deranged", described as "Northern Electro at its mesmerising best" by Now Then Magazine...
