Having recently completed another successful run with Pixies and Cat
Power, Modest Mouse continues to prove themselves to be one of the most
consistent live acts today. Modest Mouse released their highly
anticipated new album, The Golden Casket, on June 25, 2021 via Epic
Records. The Golden Casket heralds another new chapter in the GRAMMY®
Award-nominated multi platinum band’s unpredictable evolution. Produced
with Dave Sardy and Jacknife Lee in Los Angeles and in Modest Mouse’s
studio in Portland, the album hovers in the liminal space between raw
punk power and experimental studio science, frontman Isaac Brock
explores themes ranging from the degradation of our psychic landscapes
and invisible technology, to fatherhood. The twelve tracks behave like
amorphous organisms, undergoing dramatic mutations and mood swings that
speak to the chronic tug-of-war between hope and despair that plays out
in Brock’s head.
