One afternoon, Eric Bachmann's son returned from school with a sheath of pictures he'd drawn, all of them macabre. "There were crows and sinister figures with scythes and tombstones," he recalls. On one, he had written 'DETH, SWET DETH,' and everything clicked in my head." Swet Deth, Bachmann's first album under his Crooked Fingers moniker after a 15-year hiatus, organized itself around the image: it's songs are about death, yes, but there's a sweetness to them, a wry sensibility to his lyrics that comes from having experienced many kinds of death and the life that follows in it's wake. Swet Deth is surprising and lush, a shock of color against it's album cover's morbid landscape, proof of life in the shadow of it's opposite. "RIP Eric Bachmann," one tombstone reads. As Crooked Fingers, he's never felt more alive.
