repressed on vinyl. for ardent fans of omaha, nebraska's cursive, 'the difference between houses and homes', a collection of the indie-rock band's rarities from 1995-2001, comes as a welcome addition to the group's catalogue. with the exception of the blistering, fugazi-like 'nostalgia' from 2001, all of the tracks here are previously unreleased or from seven-inch singles dating back to '95-'98, the era before ted stevens replaced guitarist and occasional vocalist steve pedersen. throughout the disc, these early cursive tunes are urgent, driving, and sometimes downright dissonant, with lead singer / guitarist tim kasher often sounding like weezer's rivers cuomo off his meds after an all-night bender. highlights include the anthemic 'dispenser,' which is carried along by jagged guitar lines, and the creepingly slow, melancholy 'there's a coldest day in every year.' along with these rare tracks, 'houses and homes' presents a beautifully rendered story in the album booklet, with words by kasher and illustrations by yuriko yoshino, making it an even more enticing package.
