Cursive Is Getting Their Palms Read [MUSIC]

[Gregory J. Shaw]

 

 

Ever since Cursive burst onto the music scene with their 1997 debut album, the band has consistently and continually churned out heady albums like The Ugly Organ, in 2003--a self-aware conceptual record about artistic constraints (or lack thereof).  

 

Well, the Omaha-ian indie rockers are coming back with I Am Gemini, their 7th album [wow]. It’s a concept album to say the least. It draws upon the  mythical tale of  the twin brothers that gave the astrological sign its name — not exactly the first thing we expected from a band better-known for singing about the bitter minutia of breakups than taking on more progressive and horoscope-y concepts. But then again, they did tour with Mastodon that one time.

 

Grab the song 'The Sun And Moon.' below. Album is out 2/21.
