If there’s any musician who’s qualified to release an album titled The Game of Monogamy, it’s everyone’s favorite singer/guitarist/lush/ex-husband/ex-boyfriend Tim Kasher of Cursive and The Good Life. Kasher will release the aforementioned solo album on October 5 via Saddle Creek, who released all of Cursive’s albums, including 2009’s Mama, I’m Swollen (TMT Review). Recorded earlier this year in Whitefish, MT, The Game of Monogamy will mark Kasher’s debut as a solo musician. Of course, Kasher couldn’t play every instrument by himself, so he enlisted the help of Patrick Newbery (trumpet/keys for Cursive), Erin Tate (Minus the Bear), Matt Maginn (Cursive), and members of the Glacier National Symphony.
If you live in the Chicago area, Kasher will be debuting music from the album at a special show next Tuesday, July 27 at The Tonic Room. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait until October to get your hands on Kasher’s first solo album.
