Tim Kasher (Cursive, The Good Life) delivers his fourth solo album, Middling Age. Kasher had already written much of the record prior to the pandemic, but with the world locked down and touring not an option, he opted to continue working on the songs while homebound. With studios shuttered, he cobbled together a lineup of musicians from around the country to help him craft the record remotely. A large cast of friends and collaborators all recorded their parts at home, including: Jayson Gerycz of Cloud Nothings, providing all the percussion from his studio in Cleveland, OH; Laura Jane Grace (Against Me!), from Chicago, IL, sings a verse of "Forever Of The Living Dead," to which Jeff Rosenstock also supplies a dazzling saxophone solo from Los Angeles, CA; Cursive bandmates Patrick Newbery and Megan Siebe, offering trumpet and cello, respectively, from Omaha, Nebraska; and Macey Taylor of The Mystic Valley Band, providing the amazing bass line for "100 Ways To Paint A Bowl Of Limes" from Birmingham, AL. Kasher's niece, a budding songwriter at age 9, wrote and performed opener "Long Days," and also sings the album's final notes.
