Elsewhere <em>Sister<\/em> deals with the thorny subject of rape and victim-blaming in society over an insistent, urgent backing.<\/p>\n<p>Title track <em>Cursing the Sea<\/em> is an ode to long distance heartache and an apt title for the album, with many of the songs dealing with distance, insecurity and inner turmoil, and alluding to an overall sense of being adrift. In keeping with this, the band chose the setting of a beach at night for the artwork, hoping to capture that same unsettled feeling.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on September Girls, visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001AVofN3rx2Y9VtJKZxxYnB2nMvtMJqV1cDyhVlgMVr2YZf0UcdPYGRO_PuU2LvmI-t16vHPrAtE_s9eQ6IaBKLaA9ZAywhEG5-LS7WamNC05PToEIYl0sLTValwlPuKEoE56rr2p9pw-0Oh7bOslKOeNUSwJmuAtDbEEYmE_J5YyS5UsP_fNiCQ==&amp;c=r9PmeJxV66rrVQ7ZFtbkW0J_ijOrjplXdptDCfpl0FT6DN2hVy2R1g==&amp;ch=oIe1vij6pNmncx0pTxemx0b09LRo2MFe1QV5vzs0IK_QVGN3AyIqRg==\" target=\"_blank\" shape=\"rect\">septembergirls.tumblr.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The debut album by September Girls, &#8216;Cursing The Sea&#8217;\u00a0will be released in the US on March 11, 2014 via Fortuna POP! on CD, LP or <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=7543\" title=\"September Girls announce US album release + play SXSW\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7544,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[23,25,28,29,30],"tags":[2126,2125,1138],"class_list":["post-7543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indie","category-live","category-music","category-music-video","category-new-release","tag-cursing-the-sea","tag-september-girls","tag-sxsw"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/September-Girls.jpg?fit=600%2C409","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-1XF","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7861,"url":"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=7861","url_meta":{"origin":7543,"position":0},"title":"Ireland&#8217;s September Girls share their latest video for &#8216;Sister&#8217;","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"March 30, 2014","format":false,"excerpt":"Ireland's September Girls have shared their latest video for the track Sister, which is lifted from their debut album 'Cursing The Sea' out now via Fortuna POP!.
