CURVE Doppelgänger (2025 UK/EU limited edition 10-track LP pressed on classic black vinyl. Curve's debut album Doppelgänger, first released in 1991 on Dave Stewart's Anxious label, stands as a landmark of early '90s alternative music -a bold fusion of industrial-edged electronics, swirling shoegaze guitars, and darkly sensual vocals. Co-produced by Toni Halliday, Dean Garcia, and Flood, the album captures Curve at their creative zenith, balancing dense, distorted textures with pulsing rhythm and melody. Singles such as Horror Head and Fait Accompli cut through the noise with arresting hooks, while deeper tracks like Already Yours and Lillies Dying reveal a haunting beauty beneath the sonic chaos. Critics praised the album's innovative production and Halliday's commanding vocal presence, with Q Magazine noting that "every song here is swimming in guitars… but no matter how cacophonous the music gets, Halliday's voice is terrifically sensual and seductive." Over time, Doppelgänger has come to be recognised as both a cornerstone of the gothic rock and shoegaze movements and an influential precursor to the sound later popularised by Garbage.
