As Cursive gear up to release their new album Devourer, lead singer Tim Kasher joins us us on the BrooklynVegan Podcast. Throughout our hour-long conversation, Tim talks about classic Cursive records, the Omaha/Saddle Creek scene he came up in, his thoughts on being associated with emo (and covering At the Drive-In at Bonnaroo’s Emo SuperJam), continuing to discover new music and art at middle age (he just turned 50 on August 19, happy belated!), the new album, and more. He unpacks some of the hopeless, apocalyptic, state-of-the-world themes on Devourer, talks about bringing cello back into the fold on the past few Cursive albums after abandoning it for many post-Ugly Organ years, and he talks about why Cursive were excited to team up with Run For Cover Records for this new album, following several albums for Saddle Creek and two on their own 15 Passenger label.
The new episode with Tim is available now on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
