Cursive performs "Dorothy at Forty"

Cursive, the hot indie-rockers from Omaha, have stayed under the radar for the past few years. After careful deliberation as to the direction of the band, frontman Tim Kasher has brought Cursive back to create yet another hit album. Constantly formatting and molding their sound, each album that comes along seems to eclipse the previous one. The latest, Happy Hollow (Saddle Creek), has once again proved the brilliance of the band. The album features fast, tight rhythms, horn blasts and heartfelt lyrics sung with a raw, emotional force. Kasher’s range can sound downright haunting or can explode into heartbroken rage, piercing the hearts of listeners. The lyrical genius is showcased on this latest album, exploring and challenging religion, race and relationships. Cursive will play at the Icon on Sunday (May 20) at 7pm with special guests These Arms Are Snakes and the High Strung
