The Feeding Fingers were formed in 2006 when musician and surrealist stop-motion puppet film animator, Justin Curfman, found himself with a catalog of music that he had written with the intention of being a soundtrack for a film that was never released.
Curfman realized that he had more music than films to marry it to. Rather than scrapping it, he decided to form a band with the support of multi-instrumentalist Todd Caras and percussionist Daniel Hunt which became the Feeding Fingers.
In 2007 the debut album “wound in wall” was released which garnered interest from those who paid attention.
During the summer of 2008 The Feeding Fingers spent four months recording their sophomore album “Baby Teeth”. With “Baby Teeth”, the group has collaborated and recorded a collection of music whose initial intent is to stand on its own two feet as a work in its own right and not as a by-product of Curfman’s over-reaching ambition. “Baby Teeth” is the first proper Feeding Fingers album.
The Feeding Fingers are frequently compared to Joy Division, Cocteau Twins, The Cure, The Chameleons, Bauhaus, and the like. Within the darker spectrum of the post-punk sub-genre, the Feeding Fingers have “a definite appeal to those who crave an element of dark surrealism in their music.”
“…darkly romantic, full of throbbing, single-note bass, alternately soaring and screeching guitar lines, icy-cold drum lines and vocals which are a mourning wail…I like this a whole hell of a lot.” – Gordon Lamb
