Modest Mouse releases first new music since 2015

Portland-based rock band Modest Mouse have announced that they will participate in Record Store Day on 13 April with an exclusive triangle 7” featuring their first new music in over four years. The release includes A-side ‘Poison The Well’ and an as-yet-unreleased B-side, ‘I’m Still Here.’

Begun by Isaac Brock (lead vocals/guitar), Jeremiah Green (drums), and Eric Judy (bass) in 1992, Modest Mouse is now made up of Brock, Green, Tom Peloso, Jim Fairchild, Russell Higbee, Lisa Molinaro, Ben Massarella and Davey Brozowski. The group’s last album was 2015’s Strangers To Ourselves, which featured their #1 Alternative radio single ‘Lampshades on Fire.’ The band has toured ceaselessly since then, establishing themselves as one of the most consistent live acts in recent years.

In 2014, the band re-released their first two albums, 1996’s This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About and 1997’s The Lonesome Crowded West, on CD and vinyl through Brock's Glacial Pace record label.
