Our Take

After a seven-year hiatus, CURSIVE's latest release, "Vitriola," comes crashing into the indie rock scene like a tornado in a teacup. The band's signature blend of driving guitars, haunting vocals, and razor-sharp lyrics is on full display here, proving that they haven't lost a step in their time away.

From the first track, "Free to Be or Not to Be You and Me," CURSIVE sets the tone for an album that is equal parts rage and introspection. Frontman Tim Kasher's vocals cut through the cacophony of the instrumentation like a siren in the night, drawing listeners into a world of heartbreak, cynicism, and ultimately, redemption.

Tracks like "Under the Rainbow" and "Ouroboros" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend punk energy with intricate orchestration, creating a sound that is both chaotic and beautiful. Meanwhile, songs like "Fever Dream" and "It's Gonna Hurt" dive deep into the darker corners of the human psyche, exploring themes of isolation, existential dread, and the crushing weight of modern society.

"Vitriola" is a masterclass in emotional intensity, with each track building on the last to create a portrait of a band at the height of their powers. CURSIVE may have been away for a while, but with this album, they've proven that they are back - and they're angrier and more vital than ever.
