Modest Mouse Announce Strangers to Ourselves, Ready “Lampshades on Fire”

Modest Mouse Announce Strangers to Ourselves, Ready "Lampshades on Fire"

It’s been a while since this has happened: Modest Mouse have announced a new album—their first since 2009′s No One’s First and You’re Next. It’s called Strangers to Ourselves, and it’s out March 3, the Modest Mouse fan site Interstate-8 reports

The news was reported via a fan’s Twitter account, who received a test pressing of the recently teased single “Lampshades on Fire”. It came accompanied with a note saying that the song would be released on Tuesday (December 16) and revealed the album’s title and release date. (Check out a live performance of the single below.)

The new album has been in the works for years. So far, there’s no confirmation as to whether or not Big Boi and Krist Novoselic are involved as previously reported. The band have been playing new songs on the road, and even canceled a tour in 2013 to finish their album.

Recently, the band reissued This Is a Long Drive for Someone With Nothing to Think About and The Lonesome Crowded West.
