"Clipped" originally appeared on the "Cherry" EP, but was eventually included as a bonus track on the North American versions of Curve's 1992 stunning debut, "Doppelgänger". This track is a perfect representation of Curve's dynamic sound, which takes the aural landscape of My Bloody Valentine into overdrive by incorporating trip-hop beats and heavy basslines provided by the brilliant and elusive Dean Garcia. But the real star of Curve is Toni Halliday, whose dark and powerful vocals resonate with the same goosebump-inducing passion as Garbage's Shirley Manson and even Madonna during her "Erotica" era. Curve hit harder than any of their shoegaze contemporaries, and "Clipped" is a chilling track suitable for both bedroom and dancefloor.
