Description: Modest Mouse - We Are Between. An exclusive live performance for Vevo. Any accounting of indie rock’s history is incomplete without assessing the sizable contribution of Modest Mouse. 1996's “Dramamine,” built on a circular, 12-note guitar line and singer Isaac Brock’s haggard shouts, announced the band's approach: deeply melodic, thoughtfully experimental, sonically jagged, and a bit manic. Before the turn of the century and well into the ’10s, high school teens with impeccable music taste were evangelizing Brock's outfit. 2000’s ‘The Moon & Antarctica’ still induces waves of melancholic nostalgia for this bunch; “Float On” and “Dashboard” from 2004’s ‘Good News For People Who Like Bad News’ and 2007’s ‘We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank’ respectively, have been staples on indie playlists since their release. As its listeners have matured, so too has the band's music-making process. Once frantic in their output, Modest Mouse took half decade-plus pauses before putting out their last two albums - the new ‘The Golden Casket’ follows 2015’s ‘Strangers To Ourselves.’ It was a pleasure fitting the band into our studio for a performance of “We Are Between” and “Back To The Middle.” One outlet recently called ‘The Golden Casket’ some of Modest Mouse's "most luxuriously textured work.” Another pointed out a moving comment from a fan that sums it all up: “‘Brought me comfort at 13… Bringing me comfort at 31. My goodness, does life go by quick.’” Watch Modest Mouse videos: bit.ly/2WFTRQV Modest Mouse twitter.com/modestmouseband instagram.com/modestmouse facebook.com/ModestMouse Vevo facebook.com/vevo twitter.com/vevo instagram.com/vevo Executive Producer: Micah Bickham Director: Bram VanderMark Producer: Averi Smith Director of Photography: Skyler Brown Editor: Kevin Rose Music & Talent: Annie Shapiro + David McTiernan #ModestMouse #WeAreBetween #Vevo vevo.ly/VIqlhm
