Cursive have shared their jagged, yet poppy new single Imposturing, the third from their forthcoming new album Devourer, out September 13 via Run For Cover Records & Cooking Vinyl Australia.
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.”
