Product Description
Mama, I'm Swollen
- On 2009's MAMA, I'M SWOLLEN, Cursive's first studio album in nearly three years, the revered Omaha-based indie-rock act follows up the acclaimed HAPPY HOLLOW with another arresting outing. Happily, SWOLLEN expands on the full sound of HOLLOW, setting up a wide sonic expanse that's fitting for a band from the open plains of Nebraska. As always, Cursive is a showcase for frontman Tim Kasher's emotive singing and fierce guitar playing, as best evinced on the dynamic "From the Hips," which builds to a feverish crescendo. Sure to delight Cursive's most devoted, MAMA, I'M SWOLLEN, with its bold cinematic aesthetic, may also win over fans of bands such as the Arcade Fire and My Chemical Romance....

Ever since Cursive burst onto the music scene with their 1997 debut, they've consistently churned out heady albums heralded by critics and fans alike. Wrestling with life's miseries and mysteries, "Mama, I'm Swollen" is an album brimming with the universal, and questioning the human condition, social morality, and the Peter Pan Syndrome of grown men. Musically, Cursive is as smart and sophisticated as ever, the songs' rousing cerebral content complemented by moments alternately hushed and exhilarating; eerily moody and jaunty. The quartet remains one of the most exciting and inventive rock bands today.
