I discovered Cursive last February when they opened for Alkaline Trio along with The Dear & Departed, and man did they put on a good show. The turnout was remarkably minimal - it was a freezing schoolnight, after all - and the other bands seemed somewhat dismayed by how few people had shown up to see them. Not Cursive, though. Those guys rocked it with more energy than any other concert I've seen of theirs (meaning, those shown in the magical land of YouTube). If you ever have the chance to see them live, GO.
Anyway, it appears that lead singer Tim Kasher is going the way of so many lead singers before him and making a solo album, which sounds like a fantastic idea. It's called The Game Of Monogamy and will be released on October 5th, and features musical assistance from the other members of Cursive and Minus the Bear. Tracklist as follows:
1 Monogamy Overture
2 A Grown Man
3 I’m Afraid I’m Gonna Die Here
4 Strays
5 Cold Love
6 Surprise, Surprise
7 There Must Be Something I’ve Lost
8 Bad, Bad Dreams
9 No Fireworks
10 The Prodigal Husband
11 Monogamy
You should prolly, like, pre-order this or something. Just sayin'.
