New Modest Mouse- We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
posted in Music |I don’t have anything especially enlightened to say about this album other than that it arrived today and I’m listening to it for about the third time and its great. Its pretty solid- its not like there are just one or two tracks that stand out, although there are a few phrases that really stick out- “Some day you will die somehow and somethings going to steal your carbon”.
I wish I’d managed to get tickets for the Seattle show tomorrow (I was on Ticketbastard but they sold out almost instantly) but I’ve got to assume they are going to have some more shows here over the summer given the size of their local fan-base. If you like any of their other stuff this one should be a great addition to your collection.
