Cursive has also today announced a run of tour dates in April and May, kicking off April 24th in St. Louis, MO and ending May 9th in Chicago, IL. The band is currently on the road for a series of shows leading up to a number of performances at this year's SXSW. Full itinerary below.
Mama, I'm Swollen is the sixth studio album by Cursive, the latest installment in a long line of conceptual albums - which include 2000's Domestica, 2003's The Ugly Organ, and 2006's Happy Hollow - that have been lauded by critics and fans alike over the band's decade-plus career. This time dealing with the universal - characters grappling with the human condition, social morality, and what it means to be an 'adult' in 'civilized' society - Mama, I'm Swollen wrestles with life's miseries and mysteries in the uniquely literate, lyrical, and self-reflexive fashion for which Cursive has become known.
