The Ugly Organ

by Cursive

The Ugly Organ cover art

Operating as a meta-textual concept album about the songwriting process itself, 'The Ugly Organ' infuses chaotic post-hardcore with theatrical dark cabaret elements. The inclusion of cellos and dissonant keyboards provides a dense, gothic backdrop for Tim Kasher's bitterly self-deprecating and anxious lyricism.
