A Good Heart And A Dark Soul
Whisperin And Hollerin published a lengthy feature on the Curse of the Mirror Wicked EP yesterday. Part review, part interview, part editorial, it’s a detailed response to this release in particular and the band’s overall ethos in general.
“Whilst it may initially feel like a comedown from the adventure of previous releases, about five listens in these songs get into you, and they stay, putting this up there with some of the best songs they have ever written. Having had this EP for about a week, my I-pod is starting to sigh with my predictability. It’s a compulsive listen that grows. Few bands are worthy of the near sycophantism. It’s a new dimension to what they do, these self-referential confessions told with elements of remorse. The context of this release makes each track poignant, with the themes never sounding more explicit than on ‘Devil’s Son.’”
As a semi-objective assessment of both what the band has been up to this year and the ideas behind this latest project, we think you might enjoy it. It’s a great summary to read alongside our own two-part interview published last week.



Excellent interview…. Here’s to 2010, Exciting times for the Crooked Family
