Cursive Announce New Album, 'I Am Gemini,' and Winter Tour

2:45 p.m. · November 16, 2011 · by Andrew Martin

Cursive announce the release of their seventh album, I Am Gemini, which is set to drop Feb. 24, 2012 via Saddle Creek. It's the follow-up to 2009's well-received Mama, I'm Swollen and it's being called one of the band's heaviest efforts yet. Beyond that, it marks a first for Tim Kasher and company as he didn't have write out his own concept and story for the album.

As you might have guessed from its title, I Am Gemini depicts the ancient tale of twins Cassius and Pollock. It's your classic good vs. evil story and it will be told in a completely linear fashion across the album's 13 tracks. You can view the track listing along with Cursive's upcoming tour dates below.
