I Am Gemini is the seventh studio album by the post-hardcore band Cursive. It was released in 2012 on Saddle Creek Records in the US and Big Scary Monsters in the UK. [10] [11] This concept album centers on a pair of twins named Castor and Pollux, [12] and, according to frontman Tim Kasher, deals with "mental health, the duality of humanity, and perhaps trying to kill off the more vulgar side of oneself." [13]
