Cursive has now debuted the video for single “From The Hips” online, on the heels of their rousing network TV debut March 13th on the Late Show with David Letterman, which moved Stereogum to write “The Omaha outfit summoned an air of electricity from the sparse jags and soaring climax of Mama I’m Swollen’s lead single…As of now, Cursive is on fire.” The Michael Grodner-directed video premiered on MySpace last Friday. Meanwhile, the band’s new album Mama, I’m Swollen continues to garner media attention, with Alternative Press calling it “jam-packed” with “potentially life-changing songs” and The Onion praising it as “full of volatility” and “dynamic instrumentation.”

After multiple March appearances and a whirlwind SXSW trip that included six performances over three days, Cursive will also hit the road in April and May with MAN MAN. Full itinerary below:
