The next album from Modest Mouse, We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank is set to be released on March 20th.
The follow-up to the brilliant Good News For People Who Love Bad News, as everyone knows by now, features the imitable Johnny Marr. After completing a whistlestop tour of the US, the band will be embarking on a world tour.
If you're eager to hear a snip, the first single 'Dashboard' has already been released to Canadian radio. I expect you can find this somewhere online, but internet radio and I don't have any rapport. Ho and hum.
The tracklist as is follows:
'March into the Sea' 'Dashboard' 'Fire It Up' 'Florida' 'Parting of the Sensory' 'Missed the Boat' 'We've Got Everything' 'Fly Trapped in a Jar' 'Education' 'Little Motel' 'Steam Engenius' 'Spitting Venom' 'People as Places as People' 'Invisible'
