ygolordned Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 II. Cursive complete sixth studio record, Mama, I'm Swollen, for March 10 release; Tour dates and January tour videos! Cursive will release their sixth studio album, Mama, I'm Swollen, on March 10, 2009. The 10 song set was recorded over the past summer and fall with AJ Mogis at ARC studios in Omaha. The CD and LP (note a later release date for this version) are now available for pre-order in the online store! The band just wrapped a quick midwest and east coast tour. Entertaining videos from each day of the tour have been posted on You Tube and Facebook. More touring is on the horizon! Dates announced thus far are below. Cursive - Mama, I's Swollen - CD/Digital March 10, 2009, LP April 21, 2009 Since Cursive burst onto the music scene with their 1997 debut album, the band has consistently and continually churned out heady albums heralded by critics and fans alike. Wrestling with life's miseries and mysteries, Mama, I'm Swollen is an album brimming with the universal, questioning the human condition, social morality, and the "Peter Pan Syndrome" of grown men. 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. Mama, I'm Swollen is also one very simple thing: an amazing Cursive record, proving yet again why - after all these years - the quartet remains one of the most exciting and inventive rock bands today. Mama, I's Swollen - CD/LP/Digital ORDER Cursive - Winter 2009 Mon-Mar-09, Brooklyn, NY, Music Hall of Williamsburg - sold out Tue-Mar-10, New York, NY, Bowery Ballroom Thu-Mar-12, Los Angeles, CA, Spaceland Fri-Mar-13, Los Angeles, CA, Troubadour - sold out Sat-Mar-14, San Diego, CA, Casbah Sun-Mar-15, Phoenix, AZ, Rhythm Room Mon-Mar-16, Albuquerque, NM, Launchpad Wed-Mar-18, San Antonio, TX, White Rabbit Mar-19-21, Austin, TX, SXSW 3/12-18 with Ladyfinger (ne) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troymess Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Not a bad deal for the LP ($15): -- Note: The release date for the LP (May 5) is different from the CD (March 10) -- On March 2, we will send you a code via email to download the album in 320 Kbps MP3s -- On April 21, we will send out your LP (and any other items in your order -- we cannot split orders) -- Each LP includes a copy of the CD (without packaging, just the disc) -- Each LP includes a download card for bonus music and videos (only available with CD and LP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest afsdan Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I hope it is superior to both Happy Hollow and Ugly Organ. Ugly Organ was unlistenable. And as a result, I chose not to listen to Happy Hollow. From it's bad reviews, I think I made the right choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest afsdan Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I prefer StraightEdge Randy's pragmatism compared to Mr. Bojaibullshit's bullshit. I gave UO many listens. It sounded like a clusterfuck to me. Sorry, but I prefer Cursive up until Burst and Bloom. After that it didn't have the same feeling or excellence.

pjaicomo Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I prefer StraightEdge Randy's pragmatism compared to Mr. Bojaibullshit's bullshit. How redundant of you. Nice middleschool-style burn. IMO every Cursive album has been better than the last. That's right bitches. I LOVE HAPPY HOLLOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest afsdan Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 redundant? how, exactly? I don't call you dumb for liking HH. by the way, I know you all care, but Storms of Early Summer is the best. Sadly, they haven't topped it. They have come close, just not recently.

stranaspank Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I wish they kept the Ugly Organ's cello and didn't go with horns in Happy Hollow. Cello makes everything sound dark and cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troymess Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I honestly like everything this band has done so far...however, I'll admit they peaked with the Domestica to Burst and Bloom to Ugly Organ era. It just kept getting better. Happy Hollow was a slight slump, but it had to have been hard to follow up Ugly Organ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enjoyadrian Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I can't wait to hear this record. such a smart band. It sucks though that the vinyl version doesnt come out until the late april/early may. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monk0nuggets Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Domestica was great, Burst and Bloom was great, Ugly Organ was fucking brilliant, and Happy Hallow was very fun. I'm very much looking forward to the new record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotterson Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 im excited for this, although i thought HH was terrible (but i loved all three songs on the 7"). i still think storms is the best album tim kasher OR stephen pedersen have ever done. criteria needs to put out a new record.

brad Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 i'm shocked someone doesn't like UO. just doesn't make sense to me. there are a few happy hollow songs i like, but from the start i just couldn't get into it. but, i am really looking forward to this and will be picking it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
