The Profile

Crooked Fingers is the American indie project led by Eric Bachmann (formerly of Archers of Loaf), active from the late 1990s through the early 2010s, releasing acclaimed albums on Merge Records including Red Devil Dawn and Dignity and Shame.

Founded by Eric Bachmann after Archers of Loaf; associated with Merge Records; known for blending indie rock and folk-oriented songwriting with rich arrangements; recognized albums include Crooked Fingers (2000), Bring On the Snakes (2001), Red Devil Dawn (2003), Dignity and Shame (2005), Forfeit/Fortune (2008), and Breaks in the Armor (2011).

Night87’s review celebrates Red Devil Dawn (2003) as a maturity milestone for Eric Bachmann, highlighting his voice and nuanced songwriting. The album’s acoustic core is expanded by strings and Roger V. Ruzow’s trumpet, balancing melancholy and release. Standout tracks include Big Darkness, Don’t Say A Word, You Can Never Leave, and Carrion Doves. The piece defends the vitality of American singer-songwriter traditions.
