The new CD/LP/Digital from Cursive, Mama I'm Swollen, is now in stores.

The band just completed the second video from the record. Check out the clip for ''I Couldn't Love You'' on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlPDUlreibE). The video was directed by Danny Drysdale and features actress Tania Raymonde from the television show ''Lost.'' The first video from the record, ''From The Hips,'' is also on youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgJfr-195xk ).

A new online session is now available via Lakefever ( http://www.lakefeversessions.com/session/cursive/ ). This adds to several other recent appearances at the Late Show with David Letterman ( http://lateshow.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/live/index/php/981085.phtml?play=1 ), Spin ( http://www.spin.com/articles/spin-sessions-cursive-unplugged ), Shockhound ( http://www.shockhound.com/videos/490-shock-sessions ), Babelgum ( http://www.babelgum.com/html/clip.php?clipId=3017676 ) and Roxwel ( http://www.roxwel.com/player/sxsw09cursive.html ).

What people are saying about Mama, I'm Swollen:
...Cursive rocking out at its best. Lyrically, frontman Tim Kasher never misses a step (see the men-as-animals ‘From The Hips’ and ‘Donkeys’), proving once again why he’s among indie rock’s greats. – Billboard

Equal parts noise-rock with a respect for tried-and-true melodies, these tales of misery have enough gumption to truly lay it on the line. – Filter Good Music Guide

Mama, I’m Swollen might be Cursive’s most body-rocking album yet, with its bounty of hard-edged guitar riffs, vinegary horn licks and thorny, Fugazi-like melodies. – Time Out New York

...absolutely stellar. - AltPress.com
