From the pounding opening notes of the previously unreleased
"Dispenser" to the soft nuances of "Polar," Cursive's "The Difference
Between Houses and Homes" is not your average collection of rarities.
Compiled here in one cohesive release is some of the earliest (and most
sought after) material in which Cursive's trademark sound is already
apparent: Tim Kasher's signature howl; the jagged, disjointed guitars; the
thundering rhythm section. Set against Cursive's ever delicate balance
between discordant calamity and anthemic refrain are tales of suburban
discontent and relationships in trouble, told with all the clever turns of
phrase for which Kasher has become renown.
