Bright Eyes and Cursive Team Up for Charity Song 'Recluse I Don't Have to Love': Stream
The post Bright Eyes and Cursive Team Up for Charity Song 'Recluse I Don't Have to Love': Stream appeared first on Consequence.
Just before their tour together, Bright Eyes and Cursive have teamed up for a new song. 'Recluse I Don't Have to Love' is a mashup track of two of the longtime collaborators' most well-known tracks: Bright Eyes' 'Lover I Don't Have to Love' and Cursive's 'The Recluse.' Stream it below.
Released on National Transgender Day of Visibility, the single is available to buy through Bandcamp, with all funds going directly to the Poison Oak Project, Bright Eyes' non-profit. According to Poison Oak's mission statement, the organization's goal is to 'foster a more just and affirming world for LGBTQ+ people in America,' with a special focus on trans individuals.

The song came together at the suggestion of Carly Maginn, the spouse of Cursive's frontman Matt Maginn. One night while Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst played 'Lover I Don't Have to Love,' Carly noted that the track's lyrics and melody lined up well with Cursive's 'The Recluse.' Now, the scenario has finally been realized.
Bright Eyes have already kicked off their 2025 tour, which previously featured Hurray for the Riff Raff as a supporting act. Going forward, their next show is on April 1st in Colorado, with later stops in Chicago, Brooklyn, Omaha, and more (get tickets here). Cursive will provide support starting April 3rd, with their last show on April 26th. Bright Eyes will then head to the UK and Europe with their final show currently slated for July 12th at Lisbon's NOS Alive Festival.
Bright Eyes' latest album, Five Dice, All Threes, was released in September 2024 via Dead Oceans. Cursive released their 10th album, Devourer, last September via Run for Cover Records.

Must-see Twin Cities concerts this week: Cymande, Mason Jennings, Neva Dinova
There are plenty of reasons to get out of the house this week, despite the cold. Here are a few of those reasons, some of the best concerts taking place around the Twin Cities during the week of Feb. 17. Wednesday, Feb. 19 at Varsity Theater Many have heard Cymande, a U.K.-based soul group that was active for just a handful of years in the '70s, but they may not even know it. After the group wrapped things up during its initial run, songs like "Bra" and "Dove" became heavily sampled tracks in the work of hip-hop pioneers like the Sugarhill Gang, De La Soul, and Wu-Tang Clan, among others. In the years since, frontman Steve Scorpio and guitarist Patrick Patterson became lawyers in the Caribbean, per the New York Times. Starting in 2012, the group was revived sporadically. In January, it released its first broadly accessible album in many decades, Renasance. 'To us, it's a total vindication for what we set out to do in the '70s,' Scipio told the Times. 'It proves we were doing something of substance all along.' Friday, Feb. 21 and Saturday, Feb. 22 (two shows) at The Dakota A Minnesota folk staple of nearly three decades, Jennings continues to release new music with shocking consistency. He'll bring his massive catalogue for a two-night, three-show stand at The Dakota this week. Friday, Feb. 21 at Zhora Darling A Hamilton will get you into the back room of Zhora Darling on Friday, where a trio of local psych rock groups will make your innards vibrate. Weald released a couple of engaging singles last year with meandering psychedelia blended with punk energy. (Give "Giant Butterfly" a listen.) They're joined by Hypnic Jerks and King Caesar, named after the most clearly underrated Godzilla antagonist of the Showa Era. Saturday, Feb. 22 at Cloudland Theater Neva Dinova was a pivotal piece of Omaha's Saddle Creek scene in the late '90s and early '00s. The group disappeared not long after the release of 2008's You May Already Be Dreaming. However, frontman Jake Bellows recently reformed the group as a trio, keeping it a Saddle Creek affair with longtime drummer Roger L. Lewis, who is also a member of the Cursive side project The Good Life, and Cursive cellist Megan Siebe on bass. Now, they've released a new album and have a promotional photo that comes MN-ready. Val Son and Lana Leone open. Saturday, Feb. 22 at Palace Theatre They may not be real doctors, but they will play them on stage. Saturday's Rock from the Heart event is billed as a concert for aortic health awareness. The "Two Princes" band will be joined by Aortic Fire, the Rock from the Heart house band, comprised of heart surgery survivors as well as guest drummer Gina Schock of the Go-Go's. Proceeds support Rock from the Heart's mission to raise awareness of aortic and heart valve disease as well as offering education for parents and concerts on Monday, Feb. 17: Kat Edmonson at The Dakota Jordana with Rachel Bobbitt at 7th St. Entry Sparrow Catcher at The White Squirrel Bar Mike Clark and the Sugar Sounds, Cap'n Seabeard, and Ditch Pigeon at Pillar Forum Baldwin / Harris / Hennig at Berlin (no cover) Roe Family Singers at 331 Club (free) Sparrow Catcher at The White Squirrel Bar (free) More concerts on Tuesday, Feb. 18: Twin Cities EATSS with a performance from Rufus Wainwright at Guthrie Theater Apocalyptica Plays Metallica Vol. 2 at Uptown Theater All Sweet Things: A Celebration of Black Love at The Dakota Mike Munson at 331 Club Gossamer, Zero Fox, and Rock Melon at Pillar Forum International Regge Allstars at Bunker's Duck Bomb, Monarch, Alphine Shepherd Boy, and Booster Pack at Palmer's Bar Embahn, Suzanne Vallie, and Orion Treon at Eagles 34 Funk n' Spuds Funk Jam at Indeed Brewing Elour, Cold Sweat (of Hiahli), and Said in Stone at 331 Club (free) The New Havoline Supremes with Cody Braun at The White Squirrel Bar (free)More concerts on Wednesday, Feb. 19: Cymande with Bathe at Varsity Theater Arizona with Moody Joody at First Avenue Brynne Weaver: Scythe & Sparrow / In conversation with Abby Jimenez at The Parkway Theater BoomBox with Angel Beloved of MPLSHOUSE at Fine Line Stephen Day with Abbey Cone at 7th St. Entry Starlight Song-Swap w/ Misty Boyce and Nat Harvie at Icehouse's Starlight Room Cécile McLoring Salvant at The Dakota Eddie Spaghetti with Metal Marty at Mortimer's Bar In Solid Air with Galleon and The Grieving Pines at Pillar Forum Mary Cutrufello and Cody Braun at The White Squirrel Bar (free) More concerts on Thursday, Feb. 20: Modern Wildlife, Velahsa, and Sunken Planes at Cloudland Theater Oister Boy with Mad Mojo Jett, Drug League, and Crush Scene at Turf Club Jamie Miller with Alex Sampson and Garrett Adair at Fine Line Make Them Suffer at Varsity Theater Sweet Honey in the Rock at The Dakota Tina Schlieske Sextet at Berlin Identity Shock, Everybody Takes One, Self Abuse, and By All Means at Black Forest Inn Eva Markham and Anna Devine at Aster Cafe Cole Diamond at Palmer's Bar Early Evening Jazz: deVon Russell Gray at Berlin (no cover) Donna Stoering, piano; and friends at The Landmark Center (free) Devaney & Friends at The White Squirrel Bar (free) Cross Pollination at 331 Club (free) More concerts on Friday, Feb. 21: Mason Jennings at The Dakota Weald, The Hypnic Jerks, and King Caesar at Zhora Darling Muscadine Bloodline with Lance Roark at First Avenue UltraBomb with The Melismatics, Cindy Lawson, and Mary Strang & The Garage at Turf Club Sidepiece at The Fillmore Manplanet with Kepi Ghoulie Electric at 7th St. Entry Septicflesh w/ Vltmas and Ex Deo at Amsterdam Bar & Hall David Shaw at Varsity Theater Lucia Sarmiento Quintet album release at Berlin Your Arms are My Cocoon, Michael Cera Palin, Combat, Bolts, and Anita Velveeta at Underground Music Cafe The New Standards at Crooners Sweater People at Padraigs Brewing Erik Koskinen residency at Icehouse USPOP, Pageant Dress, and Danser at Palmer's Bar Deep Fakes, Material, and Magenta Vice at Cloudland Theater Early Evening Jazz: Charlie Bruber and Jack Barrett at Berlin (no cover) Adam Moe at The White Squirrel Bar (free) More concerts on Saturday, Feb. 22: Neva Dinova, Val Son, and Lana Leone at Cloudland Theater Mason Jennings (two shows) at The Dakota Spin Doctors with Aortic Fire and Gina Schock of The Go-Go's at Palace Theatre Free Fallin (Tom Petty tribute), Our House (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young tribute), and Taming the Tiger (Joni Mitchel Tribute) at The Fitzgerald Theater Ron Pope at Turf Club Zeppo: Stairway to Eleven at The Parkway Theater Molchat Doma with Sextile at First Avenue Dancing in the Moonlight - A Yacht Rock Party featuring DJ Jake Rudh and Private Oates at Fine Line Lucia Sarmiento Quintet album release at Berlin Plague of Stars release show with the Culture Of, Beastface, and Kalopsya at Zhora Darling The New Standards at Crooners The Current's 2025 Winter Dig Out w/ Medium Build, Annie DiRusso, Anderson East, and Black Widows at Hook & Ladder The Craft - Hip Hop Songwriters Showcase at The Cedar Cultural Center Ax and the Hatchetmen at 7th St. Entry The Silent Treatment, Constant Insult, and My Kid Banana at Palmer's Bar Early Evening Jazz: The Willie August Project at Berlin (no cover) Big Trouble at The White Squirrel Bar (free) More concerts on Sunday, Feb. 23: Pink Sweat$ with Aqyila at The Fitzgerald Theater Solas at The Pantages Theatre Kxllswxtch and SXMPRA at Amsterdam Bar & Hall On a Winter's Night Reunion Tour feat.
