Oh hey, Modest Mouse! It’s been forever — I mean, I haven’t heard much from you guys since We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank (TMT Review). Oh, and that EP/compilation thing from 2009, No One’s First, and You’re Next. So! How the hell have you been? Pretty busy? I heard you played a couple new songs at Sasquatch back in May. “Poison the Well” and “Lampshades on Fire,” right? Still pretty bummed I couldn’t make it out to the festival, but luckily I found the songs on YouTube! Cool stuff!
Word on the street tells me you’ve been collaborating with Big Boi? That’s pretty wild. I’m stoked to hear this new album — when’s that supposed to drop, anyway? Anytime soon? No? Oh well, at least you have some cool shows coming up. I mean, cool if you live in/near Texas or Brazil. But still, I’m sure they’ll be pretty swell! Hope to see you guys soon!
