Déjà vu? In January of this year, we reported that Cursive would be playing a few wintertime gigs to break up the sessions for their follow-up to 2006's Happy Hollow. Well, here we are some 11 months later, and Cursive have announced that they're playing a few wintertime gigs to, you know, break up the studio sessions for the next Cursive album.

A recent newsletter does indeed mention that Cursive are "finishing up the new record" and a note on their website suggests the mixing is complete but a few tweaks have yet to be made, so you should probably expect only a few more tours (namely a promised "nationwide" jaunt and a make-up trip to Europe) before the new Cursive long-player hits your stereo.
