Cursive's newest album I Am Gemini is the band's ninth since its 1997 debut. Far be it from the Omaha band to get comfortable at this point in its career; Gemini is the most complex, interwoven ...

STREAM : Cursive Live on Minneapolis Radio 3/23/12 On Cursive's seventh disc, I Am Gemini (Saddle Creek), the band tells the story of Cassius and Pollock, twin brothers who had been separated at birth. " One good and one evil, their unexpected reunion in a house that is not a home ignites a classic struggle for the soul, played out with a cast of supporting characters that includes a chorus of angels and devils, and twin sisters conjoined at the head. " Cursive kicked off their US tour in February [...]

Cursive + Cymbals Eat Guitars + Conduits / Mr. Small's / 03.18.2012 / Doors 7:00 / $16 Words by Brendan There must be something in the water in Omaha. There have been so many great bands from that Nebraska city, and there are plenty more on the up-and-up. Case in point: shoegaze gloom-pop band Conduits . They're putting out their first LP this month and heading on a cross-country tour with two great rock bands- Cursive (fellow Omahans!) and Cymbals Eat Guitars -and they're [...]
Na Tim Kashers The Game Of Monogamy is er nu More Songs From The Monogamy Sessions. De voorman van Cursive weet van geen ophouden. Geen volwaardig album dit keer, maar een e.p. - al zou ik het zelf liever een...
In past interviews I would never be able to discuss R Kelly, conjoined twins, helicopter chases, and haunting ghosts all in one conversation, but this is first time I've spoken to Tim Kasher. The front man of indie-rock group, Cursive, is admittedly a day dreamer as he explained to me "I usually think up lavish and large plans, and then turn them down." True indeed. Over the fifteen year span he's released albums, he's repeatedly suggested an attempt to move away from writing concept albums (though unsuccessfully, we hold him to no fault), but I Am Gemini (released [...]

![[Review/Listen] – Cursive – "I Am Gemini"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4086102_lg.jpg)
Tweet After many hiatuses, members leaving, calling it quits several times, several triumphal albums, solo explorations (or at least for frontman Tim Kasher, a.k.a. The Good Life ) and the like, it can't be denied that Cursive has been through a harrowing journey since their first debut in 1995. With their managing to stay intact as a band definitely deserving of a solid thumbs up, Cursive once again takes the concept album route, a familiar [...]

Cursive: I Am Gemini - Cursive are a post punk band from Omaha, Nebraska. For the last few years, Cursive have been experimenting with lots of different elements and instruments trying to find their niche. Surprisingly, nearly every combination they've tried has worked remarkably well. First they added cellist Gretta Cohn on 20012s Burst And Bloom and continued to incorporate her almost flawlessly for nearly 4 years and 3 releases. Then after the departure of Cohn, they decided to incorporate horns on 20062s Happy Hollow [...]

Cursive I Am Gemini Saddle Creek Records [2012] Fire Note Says: Cursive return with a concept record that only they could release. Album Review: I will tell you up front that I have never been that into concept albums. This of course creates an issue with Cursive because some of their best earlier work was concept driven. I Am Gemini gets back to their roots [...]

Omaha's own Cursive has been steadily releasing solid rock albums for over 15 years. Their frantic musical style combined with lead singer Tim Kasher 's personal, creative, and at times grandiose lyrics have forged a completely unique sound. Their 2009 release, Mama, I'm Swollen , garnered attention across the country, and landed them their network TV debut on The Late Show with David Letterman . Their newest disc, I Am Gemini , is an 11-song concept album based on the story of two twins meeting each other for the first [...]

On Tim Kasher's solo debut, The Game of Monogamy (2010), he created an impressively well-crafted musical and lyrical story arch that followed the rise and fall of a couples' romantic relationship. Cursive's latest disc follows in this vein and, on their forthcoming seventh disc, I Am Gemini (Saddle Creek), the band tells the story of Cassius and Pollock, twin brothers who had been separated at birth. " One good and one evil, their unexpected reunion in a house that is not a home ignites a classic struggle for the soul, played out with [...]

![[Listen/Download] – New Song By Cursive – "The Sun And The Moon"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3961409_lg.jpg)
Tweet Cursive gets all sorts of early nineties quasi-punk garage-pop on their new track " The Sun And The Moon ." It's nothing new for Cursive to change sounds from album to album, in the sixteen years they've been in our lives it's something we've come to expect with hopeful anticipation. They've done just about everything from folk to angsty and everything in between, and still " The Sun And The Moon " caught me off guard a little.Thirty seconds in and I'm [...]

The same procedure as every year: Kurz vor Silvester sitze ich wie so ziemlich jeder andere Musikblogger, -journalist und fast jeder -fan vor der schweren Aufgabe, meine Jahrescharts zu erstellen. Und wie immer wird mir spätestens morgen noch ein Album oder Song einfallen, den ich entweder hier vergessen habe oder bis heute noch gar nicht kenne. Das gesagt, hier ist mein kleiner Jahresrückblick. (Inhalt: Schlechte Musik | Konzerte des Jahres | Songs des Jahres | Video des Jahres | Alben des Jahres ) [...]

This year I delved through nearly every album I listened to in 2011 to pick out my personal cream of the crop. This is probably my most comprehensive list of "best of" songs I've done for BWC thus far...Hope you guys enjoy. The top albums of the year should follow shortly! If there are any mislabeled, mis-tagged links, let me know and I'll get it fixed. I wouldn't be surprised if I muddled through a few misclicks or something trying to copy and paste everything over Tim Kasher // [...]
