Modest Mouse hasn't released a new album in eight years, so it seems only right that the band rolls out new songs slowly and continuously for its fans. Today (March 3), Modest Mouse unveiled the latest sampling from Strangers to Ourselves, the slow-burning single "Of Course We Know." Oh, and there are some spring and summer tour dates too!
Following some ferocious singles from Modest Mouse in recent weeks, including "Lampshades on Fire," "The Best Room" and "The Ground Walks, with Time in a Box," "Of Course We Know" shows another side of the band - its slow and hard side.
Bringing in elements of classic rock, "Of Course We Know" screeches in on delivery, before everything gets quieted down, as the instruments wind around Isaac Brock's vocals.
Listen below:
"Of Course We Know" isn't the only Modest Mouse news in the world today, the band also announced its 2015 tour in support of Strangers to Ourselves.
