about

“I Know” is the new single from Chicago-based Cusp available digitally on Fire Talk imprint Open Tab. The “jagged, propulsive, anxious music” of debut EP ‘Spill’ made them a buzzy band to watch in their prior home of Rochester, where the four piece’s angular and exploratory post punk made them impossible to categorize. “I Know” sees the band pivot to more straightforward but no less engaging rock music, with heavy guitar riffs juxtaposed with Bender’s melancholic drawl. Making a home within their own niche between the resurgent emo scene and the blossoming creative sphere of Chicago, Cusp continue to craft their own fascinatingly temperamental sound.

lyrics

Hey, thought I might
Have seen you the other day
Got me thinking about
What we keep in and what we leave out

I know
That the elevator opens
I know
There’s nothing growing inside me
I know
That this isn’t forever
I can will it away
But only just slightly

I know
That you’ll be here tomorrow
I know
That I’ll be here too
I know
That you’re gonna be happy
I’ll make it happen
If it’s the last thing I do

Hi, I think I saw you a year ago
Wearing a winter coat in summer
Your bent attempt at an olive branch
Slick and dripped with contempt

I know
That the elevator opens
I know
There’s nothing growing inside me
I know
That this isn’t forever
I can will it away
But only just slightly

I know
That you’ll be here tomorrow
I know
That I’ll be here too
I know
That you’re gonna be happy
I’ll make it happen
If it’s the last thing I do

I know
That this doesn’t really matter
I know
That it means so much
I know
That it’s hard to imagine
There’s so much power in what I can’t touch

I know
That you’ll be here tomorrow
I know
That I’ll be here too
I know
That you’re gonna be happy
I’ll make it happen
I’ll make it happen
