“Indie rock legends from Portland refuse to go gently into that good night”
“Welcome to alternative rock's Chinese Democracy. Modest Mouse's sixth studio album is the Washington state band's first full-length work of new songs since 2007; it may also be the longest hour of music you hear this year. Singer-songwriter Isaac Brock and drummer Jeremiah Green, aided by a cast of dozens, including the Shins' James Mercer, have stuffed Strangers to Ourselves to infinity with text”
“Modest Mouse have been working on their new album for longer than many bands have existed. After reports of bizarre guest spots, shifting producers, and the departure of founding bassist Eric Judy, Strangers to Ourselves betrays no signs of its troubled birth, for better and for worse.”
“Indie rock vets Modest Mouse release their first album in 8 years.”
