CURSIVE SHARES NEW SINGLE “IMPOSTURING” ALONGSIDE A VIDEO DIRECTED BY FRONTMAN TIM KASHER

Cursive today shared their jagged, yet poppy new single “Imposturing,” the third from their forthcoming new album Devourer, out September 13, 2024, via Run For Cover Records. The song–which features a soaring, woozy synth line by the band’s Patrick Newbery–arrives alongside a campy, gory video directed by singer/guitarist Tim Kasher. “The overall conceit of 'Imposturing' is, 'make it up as you go along,' so I concocted a story of a monster seemingly made up from the insecurities of this main singer guy (me). Once fully formed, the monster goes on a rampage,” he explains. “We shot the video over a few days in Omaha, NE, in and around O'Leaver's and The Admiral. Our practical effects were the product of various DIY Youtube tutorials.” 

The clip is the latest installment of Cursive’s horror-themed videos created around the album by genre directors, following lead single “Up and Away,” by Brea Grant (12 Hour Shift, Torn Hearts), and “Botch Job,” from Travis Stevens (A Wounded Fawn, Jakob’s Wife, Girl On The Third Floor). The singles have been earning the band attention from Stereogum (about “Up and Away:” “It’s got a great, beefy bassline, and that classic noisy-yet-melodic sound Cursive have perfected”), Brooklyn Vegan, The Hard Times, Under The Radar, and many more. Devourer is now available for preorder.

Following a September 20th performance at Riot Fest, Cursive will embark on a fall U.S. tour in support of Devourer beginning October 18th in hometown Omaha, NE. The band also today announced a November 13th London show at Camden Assembly (tickets go on sale tomorrow, August 9th). A current itinerary is below.
