Biography
On the release, Every Corner Of The Room, The Curtain Society boys have progressed to a more open pop sound, but have maintained the sonic edge that set them apart from so many of their contemporaries eight or so years ago. Duncan Arsenault's drumming is still as splendid as ever, not only moving the songs forward at each beat, but managing to sound fresh and vibrant on every song. Ron Mominee lays down solid bass grooves that help to accomplish the solid foundation on which all of these songs are built, while Roger Lavallee plays all the tricks with his guitar that recall the glory days of early 'gazer rock. The perfect example is Two Wonderful Stars, with its amazingly sonic guitars and captivating loops all afloat upon a bed of rocksteady rhythm, and some of the finest use of the ride cymbal I've heard in ages. This is the kind of song that Swervedriver was turning out in their heyday, only a bit cleaner around the edges.
