UPDATE: Listen to Modest Mouse’s ‘The Golden Casket’
It’s been six years since Modest Mouse released Strangers To Ourselves. So a new album later this summer is a long-awaited treat. The band announced today that The Golden Casket will drop on August 6, and shared “We Are Between†as a sample of what’s to come. They will also be touring later this year. We’re hoping to catch them at a newly-reopened venue sometime in the not-so-distant future. Listen to the new single above.
UPDATE 06.27.21: We’re a couple of days late on the new Modest Mouse album. While this weekend has been dominated by Tyler’s new joint, we’re switching it up for our Sunday listening. Peep The Golden Casket below if you haven’t already.
