Omaha-based quartet Cursive has a new LP on its way, and by the sound of the first single, the band has long-departed its post-hardcore roots.
With the poppier single, “The Sun and Moon,” in tow, Cursive will hit the road for an expansive three-month tour, which is set to bring them to the Triangle in April.
The band will perform at Kings Barcade April 7; Cymbals Eat Guitars and Conduits are set to open. Tickets go on sale Jan. 6 at noon for $15 in advance.
Ironically, Durham’s Mount Moriah will join Cursive on tour April 14 and 15, just missing a “hometown” show at Kings.
Cursive will release I Am Gemini, their seventh full-length album, Feb. 21 through Saddle Creek.
The label explains that frontman Tim Kasher wrote the album’s lyrics in a linear fashion, telling the story of “Cassius and Pollock, twin brothers separated at birth.”
“One good and one evil, their unexpected reunion in a house that is not a home ignites a classic struggle for the soul, played out with a cast of supporting characters that includes a chorus of angels and devils, and twin sisters conjoined at the head.”
While Saddle Creek describes I Am Gemini as Cursive’s “musically heaviest in years,” lead single “The Sun and Moon” is catchier than most of the band’s expansive catalog. Take a listen to the single below.
