Modest Mouse recently announced that they would be releasing their first album since 2007. Dubbed Strangers to Ourselves, the album was originally due out on March 3rd, but has since been pushed back to a March 17th release date. It’s been eight years – what’s two more weeks?
To keep us Modest Mouse fans engaged, the band put out a brand new single. “The Best Room” is the third release from Strangers to Ourselves, after the debut “Lampshades on Fire” and the second single, “Coyotes.”
More details have been released about the album, including a tracklist (below) and a list of collaborators. Strangers to Ourselves includes appearances from The Shins’ James Mercer who sings back-up vocals throughout the album, Jim Fairchild (Grandaddy), Dann Gallucci (Cold War Kids), Russell Higbee (formerly of Man Man), Ben Massaralla (Red Red Meat), Lisa Molinaro (Talkdemonic), Davey Brozowski (The Catheters), and more.
