TIM KASHER
SOPHOMORE SOLO ALBUM ADULT FILM
OUT OCTOBER 8TH, 2013 VIA SADDLE CREEK
PRE-ORDER LP AND FIRST SINGLE “TRULY FREAKING OUT” NOW
FALL TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED
Tim Kasher, of Cursive and The Good Life, will release his sophomore solo album Adult Film on
October 8th, 2013 via Saddle Creek. Recorded in Chicago at Electrical Audio and Kasher’s home
throughout this past spring, the album follows his debut solo LP The Game Of Monogamy
(Saddle Creek, 2010), which earned praise from Alternative Press, The A.V. Club, Ghettoblaster,
SPIN, and Under The Radar, among others. Adult Film is now available for pre-order in multiple
formats and packages via the Saddle Creek webstore, including an exclusive vinyl bundle that
consists of a limited edition colored LP, non-album track 7-inch “Fragile Bipedal b/w As The Bus
Runs Late on a January Day,” and a 7-inch of first single “Truly Freaking Out” (with non-album Bside “King of the Hill of Beans”). “Truly Freaking Out” is also available as a standalone single and
all pre-order options can be found here: http://saddle-creek.com/store/artist/timkasher/.
Whereas The Game Of Monogamy was an orchestral album filled with theatrical arrangements,
Adult Film favors less ornate, equally impactful instrumentation across its 10 affecting tracks.
The album is filled with variations of Kasher’s signature blend of ruminative rock/pop, ranging
from raucous and barreling (“American Lit,” “Truly Freaking Out”) to uneasy and undulating
(“Where’s Your Heart Lie,” the dreamy “Lay Down Your Weapons”), from deceptively bright and
poppy (“The Willing Cuckold,” “A Raincloud is a Raincloud”) to tempered and cascading (“You
Scare Me To Death,” “A Lullaby, sort of”). Lyrically, Kasher is at his incisive best, thematically
elastic and touching on aging (self-reflection and taking stock), mortality (one’s own and others’),
and relationships of all kinds. A full track listing and cover artwork are below.
Kasher is joined on Adult Film by Sara Bertuldo (bass, vocals), Patrick Newbery (organ, keys,
synths, horns), and Dylan Ryan (drums) – who backed him while touring around The Game Of
Monogamy – as well as additional artists including Nate Kinsella (drums; of Make Believe and
Birthmark) and Laura Stevenson (vocals; of Laura Stevenson and the Cans), among others. The
album was mixed by John Congleton (St. Vincent, Wye Oak, Explosions In The Sky) at Elmwood
Recording in Dallas, TX.
Kasher will head out on a headlining tour this fall, which will launch on October 5th at The Waiting
Room in Omaha, NE and wrap up on November 16th at the Triple Rock in Minneapolis, MN. The
tour includes stops at The Echo in Los Angeles, CA on October 18th and at The Bell House in
Brooklyn, NY on November 6th as well. A current itinerary is below.
