Cursive is about 99% through with its follow-up to 2006’s Happy Hollow, posting this update on its website Monday: "We are all done mixing and have been for a bit but have been working on tweaks and sequence and other fun stuff that no one will ever notice or care about." The band has posted a string of Midwest and Northeast tour dates "to get out and stretch our legs." From what we’ve heard, the new stuff is a little looser and introspective than Happy Hollow’s strict thematic structure.
