Feeding Fingers is a trio fronted by multimedia artist, musician, author and animator, Justin Curfman. The band was founded in 2006 in Atlanta, Georgia, but has since relocated to Germany. From the spring of 2010 in Cologne, Curfman began production on what was to become band’s fourth, full-length album release, The Occupant.

Found easily within each of the album’s eleven tracks are all of the characteristic elements that make a Feeding Fingers release a Feeding Fingers release. Those familiar with the group’s ability to, “resonate with a certain tragic and ethereal beauty” (Don’t Panic, Singapore) and to craft, “specific… authentic… personal… heart-heavy” (LabelLos, Germany) music will not be disappointed. For the uninitiated, be prepared to experience a, “beautiful album that grabs you by the throat from the first note until the last…”
