When a side project puts out nearly as many records as the main event, can it really be characterized as a side project anymore? We'll leave you ponderin' while we tell you about Help Wanted Nights, the fourth LP (to Cursive's five) for Tim Kasher's perpetual, prolific other band, the Good Life.

The ten-track LP-- which Tim himself spilled a bean or two about in an interview with Pitchfork this spring-- is sure to pack its fair share of anger, hurting, and other fun stuff when it drops October 1 September 11 on Saddle Creek. Hey, just in time for that seasonal affective disorder to kick in!

Help Wanted Nights will be preceded by the single for "Heartbroke", out August 21 as a download and limited edition 7" "with B-side etching in hand-screened, individually numbered packaging". But why would you buy just the download when the 7" comes with a code granting access to the download? Vinyl rules!

The Good Life have no live dates scheduled at the moment, though we're told that day will soon come. What's nearly here are a pair of Cursive dates in the general vicinity of the Big Apple over the weekend.
