From
allmusic (4.5/5):
"Following a series of single and EP releases that had found chart success in the U.K. and indie credibility in the States, the British band Curve released their full-length debut
Doppelganger on
Dave Stewart's Anxious label. Led by lead singer
Toni Halliday and guitarist
Dean Garcia, both of whom had toured with
Robert Plant, Curve enlisted production help from
Flood for this record. Roaming the same sonic landscape as
My Bloody Valentine,
Doppelganger features the breathy, dreamy vocals of
Halliday over top layers of throbbing guitar, dense keyboards, and sledgehammer drumming to create formidable aural textures. At times meandering and unrelenting, tracks like "Already Yours" and "Wish You Dead" are stellar workouts full of rhythm and attitude. The few slower numbers are a nice change of pace with the best results on "Fait Accompli" and the quiet, almost dirge-like "Sandpit," where the less dense instrumentation allows
Halliday's vocals to become the focal point. At times menacing and dark and other times more playful,
Doppelganger is a bracing listening experience that earned Curve well-deserved attention on both sides of the Atlantic."
