Pitchfork

Loopy writer Tim Kasher and his pointy-riffed penmen Cursive will barely lift their proverbial quill off the page in May, with an ever-expanding, nation-spanning tour including dates with murk-metal mavericks Mastodon. Mastodon's prehistoric anguish will meet up with Tim Kasher's more existential variety, as the Cursive doodlers work through the jagged nooks and horn-y crannies of last year's Happy Hollow.

Word on the street is that Kasher's other band the Good Life are working on a new album with producer Mike Mogis, with eyes on a fall release.
