After five years, Modest Mouse will release a new album, An Eraser And A Maze, on June 5th. They have shared three tracks so far, including the latest, “Third Side of the Moon.” This follows two catchy and uniquely Modest Mouse songs, “Picking Dragons’ Pockets” and “Look How Far.”
On the new track, frontman Isaac Brock laments: “I can’t remember if your eyes were green or brown or red // ‘cause you always spoke in a whisper and I ain’t so good at listening.”
The song’s regretful tone is amplified by a sing-along “Dum-dum, da-da-da-da-dum” chorus and pauses as the dark story builds. As a result, this song has been a live show highlight since its debut two years ago.
An Eraser and A Maze debuts on Glacial Pace Recordings/Virgin Music Group. The album promises every era of Modest Mouse coexisting at once. It arrives June 5 and was produced by Brock with additional production by Jacknife Lee (REM, U2), Suzy Shinn (Weezer), and Justin Raisen (Charli xcx, Kim Gordon, Lil Yachty). Modest Mouse is also celebrating the 30th anniversary of the release of its debut studio album, This Is a Long Drive for Someone With Nothing to Talk About.
