Unlike Joe Colvert I’ve been a fan of Cursive for quite some time. In my opinion, The Ugly Organ is deserving of every bit of praise that it has received through the years. Domestica has some serious jams on it as well. The later works from the band haven’t always gripped me quite as much but that’s the problem with putting out a damn enjoyable record from top to bottom, everything after that has a lot to live up to. That being said, the latest from Cursive, Mama, I’m Swollen, has all the elements that a good Cursive record needs; namely dark themes and Tim Kasher’s undeniably passionate voice. Enjoy the Lake Fever Session and if Cursive is a band you’ve managed to keep under your radar for awhile, maybe now is the time to dig in.
