SIX long years have passed since Modest Mouse last released an album, and at long last the follow up to 2015’s “Strangers To Ourselves” has been announced, with the latest single, “We Are Between” leading the charge. Their next LP is set to be released on June 25th, titled “The Golden Casket”, and this latest single teases notes of post punk and noughties indie sensibilities with angular guitar lines and lush anthemic vocals.
Produced with Dave Sardy and Jacknife Lee in Los Angeles and Modest Mouse’s Portland studio, the new record is said to reflect “the liminal space between raw punk power and experimental studio science,” according to an official release
The release adds: “The twelve tracks behave like amorphous organisms, undergoing dramatic mutations and mood swings that speak to the chronic tug-of-war between hope and despair that plays out in frontman [Isaac] Brock’s head.”
Check out their triumphant return today.
