records you should buy: Mama, I'm Swollen

Cursive is a band, that the empire loves, for every record they have put out, we have enjoyed thoroughly, and more often than not, more-so than the last. While this outfit from Omaha has been around for a long time, they have never really been larger than the small indie scene it feeds life into. This may be detremental to them, but for some reason I wouldn't have it any other way. I have only heard the two songs which are available for stream off the saddle-creek site, and I liked them very much, not a huge step away from cursive sounds, and its almost as if they went back to their roots with this one, and left Happy Hollow to waft in the direction they could have went, but I am glad they did not persue.

All I can say about this one, is that I am excited to hold the Vinul LP in my hands, but am sad that I have to wait until May for that.

The album is available for download through saddle creek, or purchase in CD format only at this point. Check out saddle-creek, they have many different ways to purchase this record, and each one has something special that makes it worth it. Support bands like these, and labels like saddle-creek.

cheers.
