News: Deluxe Edition of Cursive’s 'The Ugly Organ' Out 11/24
By Marc Blanc, Contributor
The coming winter may be a nostalgic one for fans of early 2000s emo. As if The Jazz June’s first album in 12 years was insufficient, Cursive has announced a deluxe edition of its heralded album, The Ugly Organ, will hit record stores on November 24.
According to AltPress, the deluxe edition will include remastered versions of each of the original 12 tracks along with eight rarer songs gathered from splits and B-sides. Saddle Creek Records will be The Ugly Organ’s label, as it was in 2003. The deluxe edition will come in double-CD and double-vinyl formats.
Cursive endured eight years of “paying dues,” including a temporary break-up before commanding indie rock’s attention with The Ugly Organ in 2003. Released to dual success among critics and consumers, the record landed the Nebraska natives a spot on The Cure’s 2004 tour and in the conscience of many post-Organ bands. It received a perfect rating from Alternative Press and was even called “brilliant” in a Rolling Stone review, Cursive’s first appearance in a publication of that magnitude.
