While Eric Bachmann is currently touring with the recently-reunited Archers of Loaf, his attention will return to his current band Crooked Fingers when they release their new album on October 11th.
The album is called Breaks in the Armour and will see release through Merge Records, who are also re-issuing Archers of Loaf’s first album Icky Mettle next month.
Breaks in the Armour, Crooked Fingers’ sixth LP, was recorded by Bachman over winter 2010/11 at the Bakery in Athens, Georgia. He drafted in Liz Durrett on backing vocals and has recorded “a cohesive and diverse set of songs with less adorned and more direct and affecting arrangements. Beautifully understated, artfully phrased, and ultimately a paean to perseverance.”
