Curtain Twitcher could only have emerged from Sheffield. The female electronic duo Sophie Stone and Grace Griffin generate corrupted downtempo post Balearic chug pulses and wobbles, throbs and twitches- full of fat noises and bolshy Moogery. It's human and appealingly analogue. More Delia Derbyshire's Radiophonic Workshop than DAF, More Tangerine Dream than Depeche Mode. Not your average bloketronica.
Their exciting new record “Leap The Dips” emerged from machine jamming with a creative freedom that only comes from genuine friendship: “We’ll talk about pretty much owt if you provide the tea and cakes”.. A light in the dark. But sometimes hope can fade and if that happens, how do we get it back? Frankly, this music doesn’t behave itself in any way you might expect. Plugged in post rave pop can be far too orderly. Music should be messy. Even on occasion revealing a tune your mum could hum.
