DoppelgΣnger is the debut studio album by British alternative band Curve. It
was released on 9 March 1992 by Anxious Records in the United Kingdom, and by
Charisma Records in the United States.
A continuation of the musical idiom established by the group on its three
earlier EPs, the record combines elements of dance music and alternative rock
with the reverb- and distortion-heavy stylings of "shoegazing".
In 2016, Pitchfork Media ranked the album at number 40 in its list of "The 50
Best Shoegaze Albums of All Time", with Stephen Thomas Erlewine of the site
saying:
"CurveÆs great innovation was marrying densely cloistered electronic rhythms
with the approaching onslaught of noise-pop. Prior to their 1992 debut
DoppelgΣnger, such a blend didn't exist, but Curve pioneered the sound that
eventually became widespread; their own doppelgΣnger, Garbage, made a mint
with this fusion just a few years later. Curve have stronger ties to shoegaze
than Garbage, however, not just because of their timing but also their
articulation: Vocalist Toni Halliday and multi-instrumentalist Dean Garcia
favor fuzziness in sound and style, letting aesthetics bleed together,
preferring sensation over sculpted song. On DoppelgΣnger, the duo
demonstrates a strong melodic sense thatÆs as apparent in the riffs and
rhythms as the verses themselves. Halliday also remains unique in shoegaze:
SheÆs a singer who pushes herself to the forefront, stealing attention from
the tidal waves of noise and distortion that surround her."
