You know those albums where each song has that one part -- the part that you wait for, the part that's good enough to make you listen to the same song repeatedly for an hour and a half while you're laid out catatonic on the floor or singing along in your car when you're already 20 minutes late for work? This is one of those. "Album of the Year" brings the evolving sound of The Good Life to fruition -- catchy, moody pop/rock that fluctuates between the all-ages club and the smoky cabaret, right alongside sin   [ read more ]

The Good Life is reportedly the product of 12 years worth of songwriting on the part of Cursive vocalist Tim Kasher, which should give you a pretty good indication of the project's intimacy, intensity, and scope. Apparently during those 12 years Kasher has endured a fair amount of pain, because there's an awful lot of it in his emotional songwriting and his laborious, unbeautiful, excruciatingly sincere voice. If you're looking for Cursive's conceptual emo, you won't find it here; Kasher tends more towards    [ read more ]

The songs on the band's fourth and finest LP were initially meant as the soundtrack to a screenplay that Tim Kasher (vocals, guitar, member of Cursive) started writing in 2006. These songs seemed to describe moments of raw emotion more than chronicle a linear tale, so the group kept them as close to their original incarnations as possible, recording them true to form. The results are more stripped down and threadbare than previous Good Life creations. Yet the songs are also quite expansive, digging into dee   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. The Good Life began as a means for Tim Kasher to use a songwriting approach that differed from his other projects (namely, Cursive), but it didn't take long for the solo project to come into its own as a band. From the refined, quiet pop of the first LP, ?Novena on a Nocturn,? to the moody, hook-laden mixture of 2002's ?Black Out,' The Good Life has come to encapsulate its own distinct style based in diametric oppositions. Their newest EP is no exception. ?Lovers Need Lawyers? may very well be   [ read more ]
