Courtesy is a duo crafting warped, occasionally austere tunes that sit somewhere between post-punk dirges, electronic bangers and nuanced drifters. On their debut album, Idmatic, Drew Ryan and Kirk Rawlings were geographically separated in Memphis and Chicago, but have recently found themselves a mutual home in the Windy City for their follow-up release, Slow Bruise (Moon Glyph).
“Chicago’s art pop innovators (The Curls) have embarked upon a post-post-modern world of musical dadaism worthy of universal attention. The Curls are curating some of the wildest & most sporadic sounds that are set to decorate the exhibition halls of tomorrow’s modern art museums & centers for the arts.” —Impose Magazine
