Omaha Indie/Post-Grunge Pop staple Criteria (Ex Cursive) release latest ripping single "Lean Out" from forthcoming LP Seize!
Spartan Records and Criteria are pleased to present “Lean Out,” the latest single to be lifted from the Friday, May 22 release of SEIZE!, the forthcoming studio album from the Omaha indie-rock staple featuring Stephen Pedersen (ex-Cursive). “This song is about when frustration boils over into action,” Pedersen said. “Bluntly, this song is about letting off steam over work and how healthy, trusting, generative relationships at work can devolve, change and ultimately frustrate your passion for the job — a professional sob story.” This song is an absolute ripper, full of heavy guitar riffs and grooves, combining the sounds of early Weezer, Quicksand and Cursive, showcasing the definitive sound of Criteria.
