Cursive

Who the hell would think that an amazing band could come out of Omaha, Nebraska?

So uhhh... that might be kind of a stereotype, and for that I apologize.

Cursive is fronted by a total badass named Tim Kasher (formerly of Commander Venus and Slowdown Virginia). Each of their albums offer a pretty different and unique sound, with some awesome lyrics courtesy of Tim. If you're a fan of the jamz that Saddle Creek puts out, then give these guys a shot. I suppose I'd describe it as really good darker(?) indie. Domestica is an awesome concept album about divorce, cheating, etc. and The Ugly Organ has a really great sound to it with some sweeeeeet organ parts.
If you like Tim, be sure to check out The Good Life as well. I'll probably up their albums sometime in the near future.



Cursive - The Disruption (1996)


Cursive - The Icebreaker (1997)


Cursive - Such Blinding Stars for Starving Eyes (1997)


Cursive - The Storms of Early Summer: Semantics of Song (1998)


Cursive - Songs from Split with Silver Scooter (1999)


Cursive - Domestica (2000)


Cursive - Burst and Bloom (2001)


Cursive - Songs from Split with Eastern Youth


Cursive - The Ugly Organ (2003)


Cursive - Happy Hollow (2006)

Godspeed.
