The Golden Casket heralds another new chapter in Modest Mouse’s unpredictable evolution. Produced with Dave Sardy and Jacknife Lee in Los Angeles and in the band’s studio in Portland,  the album hovers in the liminal space between raw punk power and experimental studio science, frontman Isaac Brock explores themes ranging from the degradation of our psychic landscapes and invisible technology, to fatherhood. The twelve tracks behave like amorphous organisms, undergoing dramatic mutations and mood swings that speak to the chronic tug-of-war between hope and despair that plays out in Brock’s head. Released by Epic Records, The Golden Casket is available here on limited edition white + sky blue colored vinyl 2LP, CD and cassette.

Vinyl preorders have shipped out from Grimey’s as of Friday, September 10th.
