Eric Bachmann - No Recover (New CD)

There was something sinister about Crooked Fingers, both the name of the project and the music that Eric Bachmann wrote at the helm of it's ever-shifting lineups over 15 years. He retired the moniker a couple of years ago, but with his third album under his own name, the transformation feels gorgeous and final and irreversible: No Recover. The drunken louts and red devil dawns are a thing of the past now, monuments to a different time. Bachmann, husband and recent father, has some new lenses through which to view the world.
