Los Angeles, CA – Alt-indie rock duo Cursing, made up of cousins Max Biebuyck and Skyler Leon, has returned with their latest release, “Talk,” a sonic journey that explores the push and pull of communication and human connection. Rooted in alt-rock sensibilities but driven by an undeniably buoyant tempo, the song feels both urgent and exhilarating, capturing the tension of trying to be understood while still inviting listeners to move with it. “Talk” is now available to stream on all digital music platforms.
“Talk” is an upbeat alt-rock song with a strong melodic hook that makes you want to sing along. Written by both Biebuyck and Leon, the song operates on multiple levels. On the surface, there’s a story, but beneath that, the words themselves become rhythmic elements, punchy, repetitive, and intentionally placed to function almost like percussion. This interplay between narrative and sound transforms the vocals into more than just a storytelling device; they become a driving force that propels the song’s energy forward. Produced by Timothy Brown, “Talk” is built around electrified guitar riffs and a propulsive rhythm section leaning into a gritty yet polished soundscape that reflects their artistic growth. The layered vocals add a hypnotic quality, weaving in and out of the instrumentation with a confidence that is reminiscent of modern indie rock’s most infectious moments. There’s a rawness in the delivery that contrasts beautifully with the track’s tight, almost danceable structure, giving it a duality that keeps it engaging from start to finish. “Talk” thrives in its ability to blur the line between introspection and release. “At its core, it’s really just about how people communicate; to themselves, to one another, and about others,” says the band. “With an underlying idea of how intention and words alone don’t change circumstance.” It’s a song that invites listeners to reflect, but never at the cost of momentum. Whether heard through headphones or blasting in a crowded room, it carries an energy that makes it impossible to stay still. With this release, Cursing continues to carve out a sound that is both familiar and distinctly their own.
Los Angeles-based cousin duo Max Biebuyck and Skyler Leon have crafted a distinct lane in the city’s alternative scene, blending the swagger of Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes, and Cage the Elephant into a modern, dynamic strain of indie rock. Their 2023 EP MUX introduced a hazy, nostalgic atmosphere, while 2024’s pushover expanded their sonic palette with the driving intensity of “Faction,” the restraint of “Westfield,” and the sharp, uptempo pulse of “Chew.” Their latest EP, Chiral, continues that evolution, earning praise from EARMILK, Mystic Sons, and Livenation’s Ones To Watch. Known for pairing analog textures with staticky guitars and roaring percussion, the pair has shared stages with acts like Dexter and the Moonrocks, daste., and Point North. Following standout performances at The Troubadour and a run of 2025 singles including “In Effect,” “Put It Down,” and “City Limits,” Biebucyk and Leon continue to refine a buzzing, fuzz-driven sound that’s quickly becoming their signature.
“Talk” fits seamlessly into the band’s niche sound, while still offering something fresh and compelling for both longtime fans and new listeners alike. The track is now available on all streaming platforms worldwide. Keep up with Cursing through their Instagram @cursingofficial and YouTube @cursingofficial. This is a journey you don’t want to miss.
