CROOKED FINGERS return to Merge with the release of Breaks in the Armor. ERIC BACHMAN (ARCHERS OF LOAF) lives in Athens, Georgia these days, where he recorded Breaks in the Armor at The Bakery with MATT YELTON (live sound engineer for the Pixies) throughout the winter of 2010/2011, enlisting the help of LIZ DURRETT on backing vocals. It’s a cohesive and diverse set of songs with less adorned and more direct and affecting arrangements. Beautifully understated, artfully phrased, and ultimately a paean to perseverance, the album seems to suggest that the breaks in the armor are more important than the armor itself.
