Cursive’s first full length album and was released on Crank! Records.
This album documents a band in the early stages of a now-storied career
It showcased the trademarks for which Cursive has now become known: complex yet lyrical melodies and angular guitars, a heady mix of hushed and noisy dynamics, and Kasher’s incisive, confessional lyricism and singular voice — which Pitchfork would later describe as “a more earnest, volatile, emotionally charged voice cannot be found”.
Such Blinding Stars For Starving Eyes first vinyl pressing came out on 9 September 1997.
It was a split release by Crank! A Record Company and Interplanetary Trucker’s Union.
The album introduced the Omaha, Nebraska based band to the world and was the entry point for a devoted following that remains reverential over 25 years later.
In 2017, Cursive announced plans to reissue remastered versions of their first two albums in celebration of the 20th anniversary of both albums. Both releases arrived in stores on December 1, 2017 via their own newly formed label, 15 Passenger.
Remastered by Ed Brooks (Pearl Jam, Fleet Foxes, Mastodon; The Ugly Organ remaster) from the original tapes, the vinyl remastered edition is limited to 2,000 copies and printed on a 180-gram, two-color record. “Such blinding stars” was released on blue with a white starburst pattern.
The reissue features a foreword written by Tom Mullen of Washed Up Emo.
Band on the record:
Tim Kasher (vocals, guitar)
Matt Maginn (bass)
Stephen Pedersen (guitar)
Clint Schnase (drums).
