Cursive
Cursive have announced the details and release date for their forthcoming album. The record is titled Mama, I'm Swollen and is due out March 10, 2009.



The band notes that due to the extremely short turnaround between today and the release, vinyl will not be ready for a simultaneous release on March 10th. The band is promising "180 gram vinyl and cool deluxe packaging." The album was also described like this:

Mama, I'm Swollen finds Kasher at his literate, lyrical best, where references to both Poe ("Going To Hell") and Pinocchio ("Donkeys") are intertwined seamlessly within his own tales of characters grappling with the moral quandary of being human, adult, and playing a role in 'civilized' society. Musically, Cursive is as smart and sophisticated as ever, the songs' rousing, cerebral content complemented by moments alternately hushed and exhilarating (the cathartic "From The Hips," the noisily melodic romp "I Couldn't Love You"), eerily moody and jaunty (the almost prayer-like "Let Me Up," "Mama, I'm Swollen") – moments that often occur within the very same song.



From the charging bass lines of album opener "In The Now" to the quiet first chords of confessional closer "What Have I Done?", Mama, I'm Swollen is a natural progression that remains distinctively Cursive: a fluid amalgamation of the band's sound past, present, and future – a band that both your punk kid sister and English lit grad student best friend can call their own.
