Curses

With new album 'Another Heaven' set for release later this year via Italians Do It Better, today Curses is sharing new single "Caviar". Alongside this Curses also announced a run of European tour dates for this autumn including shows in Milan, Barcelona, Paris, Brighton, Liverpool, London, Brussels and Berlin. 

"Caviar" features Dame Bonnet on bass, pictured above with Curses, and was produced by Curses and Johnny Jewel.

On the track, Curses offered "'Caviar' was a song I wrote a few years back, with my bandmate, Dame Bonnet who plays Bass for me when I do Curses (Live). 

At the time I was becoming a little exhausted from all the heavy hitting drums and  dark bassline’s from my DJ gigs, so we both started to write a lot of stripped back simple post punk songs, inspired by our early teenage days of playing guitar, listening to the usual suspects like, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Cure, but also the unraveling optimistic melancholic sounds of of bands like Demolition Group and The Cleaners of Venus.  But, I am always quickly over any boredom of DJing and club music, to be fair, it takes me stepping away into the more organic guitar sounds to love it all again. So, we re-approached the whole song’s drum structure and sound, went back into the heavier palette I love with club music like MCL and Razormaid, and Johnny Jewel elevated everything as a whole (especially the drums) into an absolute inter-dimensional stomper. 

'Caviar' is a decadent food; not loved by all, but adored by many. Perceive and apply as you may."

Known for making dark, romantic, cinematic New Wave, threading the visceral connection between 1980’s inspired Goth and melancholic post-punk to the DIY energy of early electronic body music, Curses has previously released two full length albums on Dischi Autunno, as well as a limited edition LP on Paris fashion brand, Saint Laurent, and original music in video campaigns for Dior, and Raf Simons/Calvin Klein. A new album is due out later this year via legendary synth label Italians Do It Better, soaked in the signature Curses’ ghostly guitars and haunting vocals.

Curses has also released on labels such as Permanent Vacation, Bordello A Parigi, Oráculo Records, and Wrong Era, and is responsible for curating the vinyl compilation series, NEXT WAVE ACID PUNX, Via Belgian powerhouse, N.E.W.S, showcasing a passion for New Beat, Early EBM, Post-punk and obscure Italo which gained critical acclaim worldwide. 

Live, Curses has shared the stage with artists such as, Nitzer Ebb, Alessandro Cortisi, Charlotte Adigery, Robert Görl, Tempers, Blind Delon, Zanias, Years of Denial amongst others and is set to tour throughout Europe later this year.
