In celebration of the 15th anniversary of its release, Crooked Fingers’ Red Devil Dawn will finally be available on vinyl on June 29. Pre-order the album on standard LP or limited-edition opaque red Peak Vinyl. Both versions feature new cover art and a full-color inner sleeve with lyrics. They also include downloads of the album and the bonus 12-song Red Devil Dawn Demos.

Love songs abound on Red 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 stalwarts Archers of Loaf, Eric Bachmann had forcefully forged a new identity and sound with Crooked 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 its most pointed, perfectly detailed homes.

Red Devil Dawn was the third Crooked Fingers album inside of four years, and in hindsight, it feels like both the pinnacle and the end of Crooked Fingers Phase One. Bachmann had perfected the art of darkness, of finding his characters and stories in solitude and then adding or subtracting sounds and players to make them come alive. Never had they seemed more personal or more vulnerable than on Red Devil Dawn, from the ornery argument on “You Threw a Spark” to the heartbreaking album closer “Carrion Doves,” which posits that “what can make us one can make us come undone.”

Stay tuned for more Eric Bachmann news coming soon at his website, and on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
