    The Luck of Eden Hall pillar Curvey’s ’space rock’ album, Par Crone, sees the light of day for its 15th anniversary. Recorded in Chicago, Par Crone is a tasty, crunchy time capsule nugget not only for ’97, but for fans of The Luck of Eden Hall. Par Crone’s self-titled isn’t a dry run for LOEH; it’s a complete platter birthed from Curvey’s brain and fingers that stands on its own, but is also a link in the LOEH chain. Where LOEH layers the psych frosting on the rock, Par Crone puts a little more weight on the rock, but the ‘popped psychedelic rock and rollisms’ are still there. Curvey’s pop savvy is all over Par Crone, this time in a bit tougher, glossier exterior; a bit stadium rock, think a bit prime Cheap Tricky like guitar on stun and whole lot of riffs. Par Crone certainly sounds of its time with the crunch and the production, but the hooks are there and in true Curvey fashion, they’re sweet, rocking, free of cynicism and stick to your ribs. LOEH isn’t disposable in their confections, and neither was Par Crone; the sugar intake, and exhaust, never reaches overdose either. Some of the synths and laser-beam flashes may lock Par Crone to its release date, but a little time travel goes a long way and 15 years later much of it sounds like a breath of fresh air. -Mr. Atavist, Sunrise Ocean Bender

Words and Music by Curvey

lyrics

Opening day
You're such a fine disarray
The stage was set to be inviting
But the actor's away
He's off to see the world round
In some mechanical invention
That floats high off the ground

Time to climb
Meter checks out fine
Up away! I'm ten miles over you
Breathe in deep now
The coast is clear my angel
As I dreamed
A change of scenes
A techno colored transistor projection
On you

Put these in place
And don't you dare leave a trace
That lovely signature of yours
Was smeared all over my face
And so I looked like a clown
That's getting ready for the high wire
Here up over the town

What do you know?
I made it here to the show
And my direction indicator
Had taken me way off course
I think I could eat a horse
Or maybe share a little popcorn
Back behind the stage door's
Installed a sonic device
They say it's really scientific
Filled with diodes and wires
And vacuum tubes and the like
It blasts electrical impulses
And it's made
All of you
Obsolete
What's your name?
I can't hear
It's way too loud
