Modest Mouse Launch Strangers to Ourselves “Linguistic Remix Generator”

Modest Mouse just released Strangers to Ourselves, their first studio album in eight years. They’ve now unveiled the Strangers to Ourselves “linguistic remix generator”, which you can check out here. 

Here’s how it works: You type in any phrase up to 96 characters, which is then converted into a looping remix that incorporates different musical elements from the album, and paired with a customized visualizer. (My first instinct was to test out “bae,” because that’s just the way my mind works.) It’s pretty fun!

Frontman Isaac Brock has also recorded track-by-track commentary for each of the album’s songs. You can check that out here, on Spotify. 

Here’s the non-remixed video for “Coyotes”:
