Portland-based rockers formed in 1993 in Issaquah, Washington, and have been
quite busy lately. It started with the celebration of the 20th anniversary of their
4th LP Good News For People Who Love Bad News, and a tour that is still
running until June.
Tour Dates: here.
And yesterday, songwriter Isaac Brock and his M&Ms announced the upcoming birth of their 8th LP. It’s baptized AN ERASER AND A MAZE and is slated for release on June 5th. More info here.

Press info: “A physics theory says past, present, and future coexist, and that’s the best
lens for An Eraser and a Maze, which feels like every era of Modest Mouse happening at
once. Guided by Isaac Brock’s instinct-first process, the album is both familiar and alien,
warm and cold.
It stretches across the band’s sonic history, from propulsive classics to stripped,
raw moments, while carrying an undercurrent of mortality and loss that refuses
easy optimism.”
Last month, they already shared the LP’s first piece, ‘Look How Far…’, but without
further data. Now, along with the 2nd single ‘Picking Dragon’s Pockets’ came the aforementioned communication.
– PICKING DRAGONS’ POCKETS –
– LOOK HOW FAR… –
