Modest Mouse release new single, "Coyotes"

I'm a couple days late on this, but if you haven't checked out the video for the new Modest Mouse single "Coyotes", you must.

In comparison to the band's previous album, 2007's We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank, "Coyotes" sounds stripped down. The production is reminscent of early 2000's post-rock-- all of the instruments sound clean, and the instrumentation feels spacious. The song ends in beautiful reverb heavy, tremolo- picked guitar climax.

Singer and lead songwriter Issac Brock doesn't seem to have lost his lyrical touch, either. One line in particular stands out:

Man kind is behaving like some serial killers.

Modest Mouse's upcoming album Strangers To Ourselves will be released on March 3rd. It should be a good one.
