BAD SECTS 12" Single
Last Fall Cursive launched a remix site which allowed users to register and download separated tracks for the album track "Bad Sects." Remixers submitted their rearranged visions and versions to Saddle Creek for the Bad Sects Remix Contest. Cursive listened to all the remixes, posted some of their favorites on the site and chose the winning remix to be used as a B-side on a future Cursive single.
"Bad Sects," the second single from Happy Hollow, is available digitally and as a 12" LP featuring the winning remix by A Crude Mechanical along with a strings remix done by a friend of the band (Olafur Arnolds), the album cut and instrumental. The five runner-up remixes are available for listening at www.badsects.com.
Track List:
1. Bad Sects (album version)
2. Bad Sects (instrumental)
3. Bad Sects (A Crude Mechanical Mix)
4. Bad Sects (String Quartet Arrangement)
