Crooked Fingers (Deluxe Edition)
“"Dig yourself into a deeper hole/ Deeper than the deepest hole you know," sings Eric Bachmann on his eponymous Crooked Fingers album. It's a line that seems less suited for his latest project than a perfect summation of his former band, onetime indie-rock heroes Archers of Loaf. Throughout their bruised and battered lifespan, it seemed as if the Archers were intent on digging their own grave, esch”
Reservoir Songs - EP
“When I get together with people who were my friends between Bushes in the petty-angst cyber-nineties, we inevitably end up covered in doughnut glaze and gin under a pinball machine, crying about how we miss the Archers of Loaf. "That angular, angular thunder!" one of us moans. "It was porcupine rock, man, porcupine rock," another slurs. In just two years, though, tallest Archer Eric Bachmann has m”

Dignity and Shame
“With the release of Dignity and Shame, former Archers of Loaf frontman Eric Bachmann has now issued as many albums under the Crooked Fingers moniker as with his celebrated indie rock band. The latest from Bachmann and his rotating cast of Crooked Fingers accompanists is a loosely conceptual Iberian love epic.”
Bring On the Snakes (Deluxe Edition)
“How long should an artist wait between full-length releases? Should prolificacy be an unconditionally celebrated trait, or should some consideration be paid to audience fatigue? I don't have any hard statistics on this, but I'd guess that the average wait between any two full-length releases is about a year and a half. It's a long enough period of time to allow one album's hype to grow and fade ou”
