A strange, beguiling phenomenon, Modest Mouse at one point appeared to be on the verge of a major breakthrough.
2007’s full length ‘We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank’ won enormous critical acclaim, swiftly followed by a full international tour.
Then nothing. Fans waited, and waited, and waited – now it seems that their patience is beginning to pay off.
Modest Mouse will release new album ‘Strangers To Ourselves’ on March 3rd – that’s the artwork up there, while you can pre-order the LP HERE.
New track ‘Lampshades On Fire’ has appeared online, and it’s every bit as good as you might expect. Off kilter, left field indie pop with a cerebral edge, you can tune in below.
