Cursive returned last year with Vitriola, their first album in six years (and first since 2006 with founding drummer Clint Schnase), and now they are sharing “Barricades,” their first single since that album’s release. “Though ‘Barricades’ may conjure the southern wall our current administration has been salivating over,” singer and guitarist Tim Kasher says, “the song is more specifically about the walls we construct in our minds as a means to safely ignore the atrocities of society without having to feel so terribly guilty about them.” Listen below.
Cursive are about to embark on tour with Cloud Nothings and The Appleseed Cast, and they also have dates supporting Against Me! and a Riot Fest set on Saturday. See all of their upcoming dates below.
