me too, and it's so crazy to me it took so long for me to get into them and also to even hear about them. his songwriting is endlessly inventive
this song reminds me of ugly organ alot. also i think i wanna get an ugly organ tattoo. i've had it on my mind for a decade or so.
Anyone been catching the countdown on FB and Instagram? Tim has been taking about one song from each album from such blinding eyes to gemini. Seems like a countdown to something tomorrow? Hopefully an album announcement or new single
The writeups are great as well, really good insight to the band behind the scenes. I'm crossing everything for new cursive
They’ve counted up as far as they can through Cursive’s discography. Hopefully there’s an album announcement tomorrow.
I hope the setlist on the next tour is pretty close to what they were playing earlier in the year. Loved it.
they really balanced the setlist so well on their headlining tour, idk that I would've altered it really. wish they toured more, that was my first time seeing them and I wanna see em more

not the biggest cloud nothings fan (only listened to one of their records) but cursive and Appleseed cast has me hype
I'll try out a couple of their more recent records. I wasn't into the vocal melodies mainly so I was only half listening to the record I listened to (attack on memory? maybe?)
Ah yeah, try here and nowhere else. Pretty excellent melodies all throughout that thing. AOM is much more aggressive than their other stuff
To be fair, it took me a while to come around to them but Attack on Memory is fucking phenomenal. Try Cut You from that record again. HANE is my personal least favorite of their last four but it’s still great and a lot of people seem to favor it so it’s worth giving a shot. I think Life Without Sound is their most accessible personally.
cool. not crazy about the chorus though, musically pretty bare for them. always surprises me for some reason how much Tim will sound like Conor Oberst in parts of his delivery and vice versa even though it's been happening for decades at this point
