Like Lush...

Take my Lush post and apply it to Curve.

Another band I'm surprised more people haven't re-embraced.

Curve - Frozen. Amazon.com. Used.

Look-Alike

It was Momus' Pervert Doppelganger that made me fall in love with the word.

Sorry Curve.

Curve - Doppelganger. Amazon.com. Used.

Curve Awareness

Curve. Great band. Yet I rarely hear them mentioned these days.

Even by people I would expect to embrace their releases.

Slipping into obscurity.

Curve - Chinese Burn. Amazon.com. Used.

History Club

I bought my first Curve album during a History Club trip to Boston.

It might have been Washington D.C.

Yes, History Club. Day trips. Overnight trips. Co-ed. In high school, what's not to like about that?

I saw Cuckoo at Tower Records. I knew nothing about the band. I noticed the album was produced by Flood. I knew Flood produced Nine Inch Nails.

Purchased.

For the longest time I thought the band's name was Curve Cuckoo. This being their self-titled album.

It took about a year until I cleared that up.

Curve - Come Clean. Amazon.com. Used.
