Rating: THE REVIEW
Gift is the summary of previous works by Curve, but not only.
Alan Wilder and Flood leave their mark.
There are really beautiful insights and captivating atmospheres.
The sharp guitars follow one another in almost all the tracks, creating a thrilling and romantic combination together with Halliday's ethereal voice and Garcia's beats.
Sharp is perhaps the right adjective to describe Gift.
If you are as fond of Doppelgänger as I am, you will notice a strong connection and a certain harmony between Perish and Horror Head.
The dynamics of the duo are interesting, with the vocalist exorcising her melancholy while hinting at a sense of abandonment, accompanied by a harsh and relentless succession of electronic beats.
The track that best represents the concept is Hung Up.
Angelic love narrated to a ghost in the midst of delirium.
