New Cursive songs (youtube videos)

So, Cursive used to be my favorite band. I was seriously in love with everything Tim Kasher touched. They still hold a pretty solid place in my heart, and I have a feeling their upcoming album (Title TBA) is going to be excellent. Here are some videos of new songs from their show in Madison, Wisconsin:

"Couldn't Love You"


"Hips"


I can't wait to hear what they put out this year!
