about

"Callahan’s voice has already been compared to a female Morrissey, whilst the flange reverberations and chimes of Johnny Marr’s guitar riffs can be heard ringing out across a number of the tracks on the newest album. But I also detect more modern echoes of the Sparrow & The Workshop’s Jill O’ Sullivan and a touch of LoveLikeFire. However, every track seems to take a different turn from the one before; from the cathedral organ intro that soon turns into an indie anthem of languid yearned vocals and strings – evoking both Lush and Echobelly – ‘Nowhere Girl’, to the indie-country espionage merger of Howling Bells, Interpol and Blondie ‘No One’."

"From the more straightforward indie pop sensibilities of ‘Super’ and ‘Ordinary Face,’ you can journey through dark post-punk tracks à la ‘No One,’ right through to the Nick Cave-esque atmospheric titular track (think ‘Red Right Hand’). It’s a varied ride through ‘90s styles brought up to date and given a new lease of life."

"No One livens things up with some dark and driving rock before title track Curious Tourist wraps us in its smoky, smouldering atmosphere. "

lyrics

Why not one-up that stratagem,
With an elaborate subterfuge.
I love a good lackey
I wanna be your stooge
Be your stooge

Your pithy remarks
Made me itchy to boot
I didn’t want to hear them no
I didn’t want to hear you

Then I casually noted
As you walked into the room
A deliberate assertion that
I meant nothing to you

Come back to the five and dime
Come back come back come back back to the zoo
I’ve got money to burn got money to burn
I’ve got nothing else to do

Why not give me your religion
Why not baptize me in the name of you
Why not teach me something new
Why not briefly clarify, and decipher

Your feigned indifference
I can give the cold shoulder too
The words I might have said to you.
