Cursive

UK first press 2012. Picture Disc, Limited Edition.
A concept album from 2012 built around the story of separated twins, one good and one evil, told through knotty indie rock full of sharp turns and theatrical flourishes. Tim Kasher’s vocals shift from intimate to unhinged, the guitars twist through angular riffs, and the rhythm section drives it all with restless energy. It is dense but still catchy, the kind of record that rewards following the narrative as much as just getting lost in the sound. FFO: The Blood Brothers, Modest Mouse, The Dismemberment Plan, The Mars Volta
