"Wound In Wall is a darkly romantic record full of throbbing, single-note bass, alternately soaring and screeching guitar lines, icy-cold drum lines and vocals which are a mourning wail... I like this album a whole hell of a lot."
-Gordon Lamb (Flagpole Magazine - Sep. '07 - Athens, GA)

"Wound In Wall" review from The Southeast Performer (March '07):
"Here lies a noble attempt at traditional gothic beauty. With an obvious nod to bands like The Cure, Curfman’s mournful cries echo in the distance, veiled in a gauze of reverb... standout track “Fireflies Make Us Sick” might as well have been written by Depeche Mode themselves... unusual versatility... Curfman proves he can wallow with the best of them or move you to the dance floor."

"... distant and shadowy, yet not necessarily pop-averse... makes for perfect listening during post-midnight hours...
- Jeff Clark, Stomp & Stammer - July '07
"... Wound In Wall is a very addictive album..."
- Bat-Cave (Poland)
"...gives us that dim, melancholy feeling our inner '80s teenagers desire." -
- Babble & Beat Magazine (www.babbleandbeat.com)
"If you fancy turning The Cure's "Seventeen Seconds", "Pornography" and "Faith" into a quartet, look no further than Feeding Fingers' "Wound In Wall". - EvilSponge
For the sake of the MySpace search engine... same as influences: Swans, Wire, The Cure, Copus Delicti, Einsturzende Neubauten, Cocteau Twins, Echo and the Bunnymen, Colin Newman, Barnabas von Geczy, Philip Glass, Dimitri Shostokovich, Steve Reich... and on and on and on...
"Feeding Fingers" is the musical project headed by international award-winning animator/multi-media artist, Justin Curfman. They are a three piece post-punk/goth(ish)/new-wave/dark-wave group whose work is reminiscent of early Cure, Depeche Mode, Church, Cocteau Twins, etc. with their often minimalist and hypnotic percussive elements... droning yet fluid and dynamic bass structures... heavily sustained guitar work... bizarre dream-inspired lyrics... ("...today I found an animal's mouth in a bag of broken hands...") They have a definite appeal to those who crave an element of dark surrealism in their music. "
