Love songs abound on 2003’sRed Devil Dawn, but most of the love is dead or dying or at least dirty. That makes sense: Just a few years after his split with indie stalwartsArchers of Loaf,Eric Bachmannhad forcefully forged a new identity and sound withCrooked Fingers, and he quickly amassed a catalog of gorgeous, poetic songs about weary losers and broken lives. This is the album that gave their desperation it’s most pointed, perfectly detailed homes.
