Curve - Come Clean (1998)

Take Massive Attack’s “Mezzanine”, give it a bit more edge ala The Prodigy, then add Toni Halliday’s calm but devastating vocals into the mix.

The Cure at their bleakest. This record, the third record in a trilogy of misery, “17 Seconds” and “Faith” preceded this, makes a lot more sense in these days of utter dispair.

I’m not sure why a fat, mascara-dripping, lipstick-smeared, aging gothic clown with big hair playing the most maudlin dirge on the world’s ugliest guitar is so engaging.

There’s nothing much I can say about this record that wouldn’t demean it’s importance in my musical world. While every track, aside from the rollicking “Doubt” is the epitome of understatement and restraint, it’s the final track “Faith” that will take pride of place in my funeral march or on my death bed (I’m not really one for ceremony).

Live: Wednesday 13/08/1992 - Town Hall, Wellington I absolutely loved this gig and it goes down as one of the longest I’ve ever been to at nearly 3 hours.

Another great find at the record fair yesterday. Curve’s second release in pretty mint condition. This is a huge sound with lots of fuzz and riffy keyboards.
