Cursive's Domestica
It's amazing when music can be both ugly
and beautiful at the same time. This is Cursvie's torch, and
they carry it with pride. With themes of lost love, betrayal
and anger, the band's lead singer, Tim Kashner, wears his heart
on his sleeve. While we are being inundated lately with the
mock emotions of the grunge rehash going on lately with rock
radio, genuine, raw energy like this is being ignored. Cursive's
music sounds like a drunk, broken-hearted guy screaming into
his ex-girlfriend's answering machine from a loud rock club
(see Singles). Kashner's voice sounds like he's just
coming off a three-day bender and twenty packs of cigarettes--lamenting
and angry. You know, beautiful and ugly. Cursive's music is
emotional, raw and powerful without being sappy. |
