Wound in Wall is the debut album of the dark wave/post-punk band Feeding Fingers, released August 28, 2007. Wound in Wall was the result of the purging of a large back catalog of music that was written by frontman Justin Curfman from 1996 to 2005, that had never found a home in any of his film projects. A decision was made to rearrange the music so it could be performed by a trio for the public during a lull between two of Curfman's film projects, Platelets: Lepidopteraphage and TICKS. Feeding Fingers continued beyond the initial release, becoming more than a side project to Curfman's film work.[3]

The album was well received and found an audience in Europe. It was often compared to Joy Division, Cocteau Twins, Echo and The Bunnymen and early Cure albums like Seventeen Seconds, Faith and Pornography.[4][5]

Criticism of Curfman's vocal similarity to Robert Smith was disputed by Curfman himself, who stated: "The similarity is not intentional. The quality and tone of my voice is what it is and I am not going to alter my delivery, tip toe around the association, or apologize... I don’t know that I can go through puberty twice, so for the time being, this is my voice."[6]

Videos

A music video for "Manufactured Sleeping Children" was produced in 2008. It was a collaborative effort between Curfman and Danish video artist Daniel Dikov.

The second music video, "Fireflies Make Us Sick", was directed by award-winning artist Steven Lapcevic of Anomalyville, and fully animated using Lapcevic's signature cut-out animation style. It was released three years after Wound in Wall was issued.[7]
