Modest Mouse are returning with their first album in six years. Titled The Golden Casket, it is due out August 6th on Epic. Alongside the announcement, the band shared a new single, “We Are Between”.
The 12-track LP was recorded in Los Angeles and Modest Mouse’s basecamp of Portland with producers Dave Sardy and Jacknife Lee. A press release describes the album as hovering “in the liminal space between raw punk power and experimental studio science” as frontman Isaac Brock “explores themes ranging from the degradation of our psychic landscapes and invisible technology, to fatherhood.”
Modest Mouse’s last album was 2015’s Strangers to Ourselves, but they released a handful of one-off singles in 2019, including “Poison the Well”, “I’m Still Here”, and “Ice Cream Party”. In September, the band is slated to play at Las Vegas’ Life is Beautiful.
