Cursive - Devourer
'Devourer' is a knotty, visceral listen.
Lyrics
Surrender your furniture Push the television out the window Overmedicated, this must be the sunks If you can't understand the blues you don't know much
With much love for science and a youthful defiance We struck blindly at the roots of this tree Whose branches got broken, pissed on and trampled
O please forgive us o mighty shady tree O please forgive us o mighty doomsday tree
It's time to stick your branches In the merciless wheel of Time It's time to stick your branches In the merciless spokes of Time It's time to stick a fork in the merciless socket of Time It's time to be sewn into the limitless fabric of Time
They'll call you a wash up When you can't stay sunk It's a shame to be so wet so young Living your life with much love for science

From Dork
'Devourer' is a knotty, visceral listen.
For nearly 30 years, Tim Kasher and co. have challenged genre conventions, keeping Cursive's sound fiercely unpredictable.
Indie-rock stalwarts Cursive are back with their first album in six years. With society falling apart around us, it's a suitably vitriolic reaction to the state of the world.
‘Vitriola’ bubbles and boils with anger and simmers with regret and futility.
