The Curls are a high-octane American weirdo rock band marinated in the absurdist & dystopian groove influence of predecessors like Talking Heads, NEU!, Ween, Primus, and Can.

Since 2014 The Curls have performed at Pitchfork Music Festival, SXSW and various film & arts festivals around North America, all the while maintaining a strict and spiritual DIY ethos. Recent live performances and soon to be released recordings showcase the group's transition to a more freewheeling psychedelic art rock sound with heavy doses of experimental improvisation.

They’ve been featured in Pitchfork, Stereogum, the Chicago Reader, Aquarium Drunkard, and the NY Times. They’ve played shows or toured with acts like Tame Impala, Melkbelly, Bill MacKay, Post Animal, Diane Coffee, Dehd, Deeper, Wombo, and The Goon Sax.



Aquarium Drunkard on The Curls' live tunes --
“I don’t know exactly how to describe the art-pop nightmare conjured in this…weird Grateful Dead squiggles meet post-punk fatalism? Dril fronting Devo? I don’t know exactly what it is, but I know I like it” - Jason P. Woodbury

Matthew Danger Lippman announced his new LP Once You Get Low You’ve Gotta Start Flying Baby, coming out June 2nd, with the funny and raucous first single “AND.” last month. Today, the New York-via-Buffalo songwriter is sharing the second single, “Set Up”. A true blue pop rock crooner, with Lippman lamenting being set up; on dates, in life, for failure, etc, the new single leans even further into Jonathan Richman-style humor. MDL traces the pitfalls of being single and asking yourself why this sucks so much. Replete with a choir of Katy Rea, Scout Gillett, and Ramona Petrini, "Set Up" does what Lippman is so good at; looking at yourself at some of your lowest moments, making a joke at your own expense and then turning that into a catchy ass song. The video for “Set Up”, was directed and edited by Lippman. Focusing on the songwriter, the quick cuts are literal interpretations of the lyrics.
