Cursive's performance of "From the Hips" on Letterman was pretty great. This music video for the song is less so. The clip is a rote look at two 20-somethings who are struggling with how "tough" society and romantic coupling are, which is pretty much the plot of every "indie" movie since 1996.

Cursive's Mama, I'm Swollen , is out now via Saddle Creek. [ Stereogum ]
