NEW CURSIVE SONG!

The first taste of Cursive's Mama I'm Swollen is here!

Cursive - From the Hips - MP3

Decidedly blunt. Decidedly Cursive.

Swollen March

Cursive's got a new album. And it's not that far away.

One of Saddle Creek's oldest acts has set a March 10 release for the oddly-named (and doomishly covered) Mama, I'm Swollen.

Seems typical for a Cursive album -- ten tracks and out:

01 In the Now
02 From the Hips
03 I Couldn't Love You
04 Donkeys
05 Caveman
06 We're Going to Hell
07 Mama, I'm Satan
08 Let Me Up
09 Mama, I'm Swollen
10 What Have I Done?
