Cursive Debut Video for “Life Savings” via Dread Central
“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 acclaimed new album Vitriola, which was released on October 5th via their own label 15 Passenger.

Ed Harcourt Shares New Track “Empress Of The Lake”
Talking about the track, Ed said: “This piece was written as an imaginary soundtrack to Beyond the End’s protagonist, the intrepid mariner, lost out on his boat for days, eventually meeting his untimely death through the seduction of a ghostly siren known as the Empress, calling him from the depths of the water, falling through the mirror of the lake into a murky, dream-like underworld, where he remains forever. It features the very talented Amy Langley on cello and a beautiful old instrument called a ‘dulcitone’, which is sort of similar to a celeste. I hope it induces you into a ‘bardo’ like state.”
