Cursive Shares Intense New Single “Botch Job”

The band Cursive shared their new single, “Botch Job.” “Botch Job” is the opener of their upcoming album titled Devourer. Devourer releases September 13th via Run For Cover Records. The newly released track is a catchy song, accompanied by a video directed by Travis Stevens.

You can watch the music video for “Botch Job,” directed by Travis Stevens here:

As explained by singer and guitarist, Tim Kasher, via a press release, “‘Botch Job’ is a rumination on what one has done with this life and those unfulfilling feelings that may accompany such thoughts. At this point, I don’t care to know what damage my body has incurred from years of abuse.” He goes on to continue by saying “It’s those anxiety-fueled gremlins keeping you restless in the dead of night, but put to song.” 

Live performances are on the horizon for Cursive, as they are set to perform at Riot Fest on September 20th and set to go on their fall U.S. tour supporting the Devourer album. The tour starts on October 18th in their hometown, Omaha, Nebraska. This new headlining tour comes two years after their 2022 winter tour.

As a band, Cursive has continually pushed themselves artistically. Kasher’s pointed observations were an “interrogation of this voracious creativity that planted the seeds of Devourer,” as said in Cursive’s press release. Kasher is obsessed with consuming different mediums of art including music, film, and literature. He has a strong appreciation for all forms of art.

The album, Devourer, is reported to go into a deep dark space, with themes around anxiety, global issues, self-expression and indulgence, and more. Fans can expect deep topics on this album. Devourer is now available for preorder.
