Modest Mouse - Autumn Beds



Modest Mouse - Autumn Beds

Has it only been two years since We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank? It feels like ages since the world has been blessed with new Modest Mouse material, but now the band is finally set to release a new EP in August. It's called No One's First and You're Next, and contains songs recorded between 2003 and 2008 that never made it into the past two LPs.

Autumn Beds is one of the six tracks on this upcoming EP, and I'm really liking it. I've always loved the slower, more silent Modest Mouse tracks with great build-ups - The Good Times Are Killing Me (from Good News For People Who Love Bad News) and Sleepwalkin' (from Building Nothing Out Of Something) rank among my fondest favorites. The band is set to tour North America in August and September, so don't miss your chance to see some indie rock legends perform - they're awesome live!
