The Ugly Organ<\/strong>

With its combination of dynamic instrumentation, diverse and accomplished songwriting and lyrical catharsis, The Ugly Organ<\/em> forges a unique musical and lyrical territory that actually justifies the (non-ironic) label of \u201cconcept album.\u201d What exactly the concept of The Ugly Organ<\/em> may be, however, is up for debate. \u201cSome people focus sexuality entirely on the penis or vagina,\u201d says Cursive\u2019s Tim Kasher. \u201cOthers consider the heart or the mind to be the most sexual organ. For others, it might be an object completely outside the body, such as a musical instrument.\u201d

Regardless, The Ugly Organ<\/em> is stunning and cohesive work, by turns wildly dissonant (\u201cSome Red Handed Slight of Hand\u201d, \u201cA Gentleman Caller\u201d) and beautifully restrained (\u201cDriftwood: A Fairy Tale\u201d, \u201cThe Recluse\u201d), with organ and cello lines, thundering rhythms and disjointed guitars meshing in a symbiotic relationship with Kasher\u2019s narrative.<\/p>– Saddle Creek<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
