New Cursive Video - "I Couldn't Love You"
Even when their songs are subpar, Cursive deserve a warm pat on the back for their ambitious, high-concept (and narrative) videos. The veteran crew's Mama, I'm Swollen single "From The Hips" was their best song in years, offering a chance to go the "Bastards Of Young" route. Instead, the Michael Grodner-directed video playfully and intelligently expanded upon Tim Kasher's look at folks over-thinking and over-playing their assumed bourgeois societal roles. The second Mama single "I Couldn't Love You" is another musical gem, and again they go full-on with the visuals: Danny Drysdale's treatment stars Lost's Tania Raymonde (aka Alex) running from a shotgun wedding in search of the Land Of Runaway Brides. Kasher & Co. get dramatic in the shadows.
Mama, I'm Swollen is out via Saddle Creek.

Score = 4
The Ugly Organ was always one of my favorite albums. I don't believe I've listened to anything from them since. Looks like I'll pick the album up and give them another chance to impress me (fingers crossed)
Score = 0

that Tania Raymonde is popping up everywhere. I saw her in an episode of Law & Order, then in a shitty movie just last week. At least she is used to running from people trying to catch her in a forest
Great track by cursive and a really accomplished video. To be honest I didnt like the video for From The Hips that much, this one i dig.
