The Golden Casket (White & Sky Blue Coloured Vinyl LP)

Returning with their first new album in six years, legendary Issaquah, Washington rock band Modest Mouse will release their anxiously awaited seventh full-lenth, The Golden Casket, via Epic Records.

The Golden Casket heralds another new chapter in the GRAMMY Award-nominated multi-platinum band's unpredictable evolution. Produced with Dave Sardy and Jacknife Lee in Los Angeles and in Modest Mouse'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.
