Title: A Delight
Review: Curve's fifth release, Gift, is their most compelling blend of techno and dreampop yet. Vocalist Toni Halliday throws her fierce, filtered vocals up against Dean Garcia's abrasive staccato guitars and the clash is mesmerizing. At times, Gift is as sensual as Kate Bush at a rave ("Want More, Need Less"). Then, it's Madonna if she were a true Goth and not just playing one on TV ("Perish"). Then, it sounds like the album Garbage fans were expecting from Shirley Manson and Co., all petulant attitude and harsh dance beats. In whatever form, after the harsh dead end of Come Clean, Gift is a delight.
