Cursive recently premiered the video for their song “Life Savings.” The clip was directed by Matt Hewitt, and starring Jake Bellows (Neva Dinova) and Morgan Nagler (Whispertown), “We worked with friend Matt Hewitt to make this video, he’s been making amazing action/horror shorts since he was young. We gave him full license to come up with the idea and to be as violent and/or as gory as he wanted to be,” says singer/guitarist Tim Kasher. “I love this video.” Director Hewitt explains further, “I brought up a few things with Tim as far as inspiration, namely the Scott Smith novel and the equally good Sam Raimi adaptation, A Simple Plan. It seemed to fit with snippets of the lyrics here and there, and while the ‘find money in the woods’ trope is a little tired for a feature, we agreed it made a very jam-packed and interesting video. And gangsters with guns are traipsing around the woods, The Sopranos episode ‘Pine Barrens’ is never far from my mind either, so there was a dash of that too.” “Life Savings” is the lead single from the band’s current Vitriola, available via 15 Passenger.

Cursive are currently on an extensive North American headlining tour with upcoming stops at NYC’s Irving Plaza (11/7) and Chicago’s Thalia Hall (11/15). The first, eastern leg of the tour will wrap on November 18th in hometown Omaha, NE and the band will then begin their western run on January 19th in Boulder, CO, including a show at Los Angeles’ Regent Theater (1/31).

The tour reunites Kasher, guitarist/singer Ted Stevens and bassist Matt Maginn with founding drummer Clint Schnase — also for the first time since Happy Hollow. They’re joined by Patrick Newbery on keys (who’s been a full-time member for years) and touring mainstay Megan Siebe on cello.
