BAEBLE MUSIC ON THE VIDEO:
"There is an obvious doom and gloom bubbling under the surface....The band's video meets the mood in a landscape where metal bakes on cracked concrete and carefree summers of youth have given way to oppressive heat waves (it is Texas, after all). Says principle songwriter Sean Kirkpatrick, "This was an attempt to create two opposing worlds; one is a harsh and destructive reality where discarded household objects are going up in flames in the middle of a suburban backyard. The underwater sequences exist as a cool, escapist fantasy realm at the other end of the spectrum. Its blue and pleasant in the pool, but theres an ever-present invasion of the nefarious. I'm endlessly fascinated and inspired by the futility of utopian dreams and schemes."
"Like The Screamers and Suicide, nasty Nervous Curtains disdain guitar and bass, existing strictly on mean, growly keyboards, tribal drums, and Kirkpatrick's spittig, enunciated, brutish, tuneful vocals. What a winning combo!"-- The Big Takeover
"...his newest project, Nervous Curtains, somehow comes from an even darker place, with the usual ominous piano buried in redlined synth, throbbing drums, and Kirkpatrick's own echo-laden, paranoid intonations"--The Onion A.V. Club
"They also have the dubious honor of producing the bleakest cover of the Minutemen's 'Jesus and Tequila' I've ever heard." --Razorcake

ABOUT NERVOUS CURTAINS:
Sean Kirkpatrick – Vocals, Keyboards/Piano
Robert Anderson – Drums
Ian Hamilton – Keyboards
With their creeped-out, cryptic vocal hooks, Nervous Curtains' new record, "Fake Infinity", is dominated by dark, spacey organs and pulverized-sounding synthesizers. The grand piano that dominated the Dallas, TX-based trio's 2010 debut, "Out of Sync with Time", is used sparingly, lending these songs an aura of impenetrability and blackness. Sean Kirkpatrick, formerly of The Paper Chase (he also had stints in Spoon and Maxine's Radiator), has written a record rich with the dislocation and anxious agitation of '70s post-punkers such as Magazine or early Ultravox.Possessed of a jagged, moody aesthetic, Kirkpatrick creates narrators whose pathologies and disorders put them at odds with the world around them on "Moody Photos," "Wired to Make Waves" and "The Crooked Telepathic." "Come Around Viral" eschews spiritual connectedness for darkness. Album centerpiece "It's the End of Eternity" is an invitation into a post-apocalyptic adulthood world; he describes a landscape where discarded metal bakes on the broken concrete foundations of abandoned buildings and carefree summers of youth have given way to oppressive heat waves.
