Curling - No Guitar (Deluxe Edition) - BRAND NEW CASSETTE TAPE

No Guitar (Deluxe Edition) marks the latest evolution for cross-continental duo Bernie Gelman and Joseph Brandel, who first met in high school and have been fusing their own unique musical sensibilities ever since, with Gelman operating out of the San Francisco Bay Area while Brandel currently resides in Japan. Originally released in 2023, No Guitar (Deluxe Edition) pairs the original album with two instrumental bonus tracks from the tracking sessions, adding further depth and stylistic reach to the album, recalling power-pop, midwestern emo, post-punk, and indie-folk alike.

“…this is the sound of the days before smart phones and the Internet got in the way of seeking adventure, of not knowing what the band sounded like before going to watch them, of taking a punt on an album that you actually had to buy to hear.” - Monolith Cocktail
“...a remarkable sonic pastiche of many genres and eras.” - American Pancake 
“...drives a sound that is effortless, cloaking the heavy thematic undertones such as isolation, romantic heartbreak, and the loss of a loved one. The lush and intricate songs cover a myriad of stylistic grounds, from power-pop’s punchy bittersweetness and rustling indie folk to the openhearted intricacy of Midwestern emo.” - Ghettoblaster
