Modest Mouse has ANOTHER new album?

That's right.  Apparently, Isaac is already working on the bands next EP.  The band is getting ready to go on tour with REM and The National, but such trivial things as living on the road and playing music for thousands of people is hardly enough to distract Isaac.


According to Isaac in an interview with Rolling Stone, the EP will be a combination of the out-takes from the two previous albums, "Good News For People Who Love Bad News" and "We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank" along with several new original tracks composed by Isaac and new member Johnny Marr.  Isaac has been working hard to turn what were originally sub-par productions into Modest Mouse masterpieces (try saying that 5 times fast.)

Two confirmed new tracks for the album will be entitled "The Whale Song" and "Satellite Skin".  The Dirty Dozen Band (the horn section used on GNFPWLBN) will also be featured on this album again.

Expect further coverage once Isaac let's the word slip on a release date!
