Sterling - Cursed
Reviewed by gbowles
Cursed by Sterling sounds just like its name. Music recalls vampires, werewolves, and more abstractly, all things dark. A comparison to make would be Godspeed You Black Emperor!, the main difference between GYBE! and Sterling being that Sterling are somewhat heavier, with an almost heavy stoner rock vibe. Sterling is more serious than your average stoner band, though, and the production is also a bit more nuanced. There are only three songs (all instrumentals) on the album, one of which clocks in at around 13 minutes, giving it an epic feel. That's the main drawback though; it's tough to pull off such long song structures and remain thoroughly interesting. [www.file-13.com]
