Modest Mouse has announced a new album called An Eraser and a Maze.
The eighth studio effort from the “Float On” outfit is due out June 5. It’s the follow-up to 2021’s The Golden Casket.
“For this one, I turned off my filter and just let it all happen,” says frontman Isaac Brock in a statement. “Even though every godd*** musician says that when they put out a record.”
An Eraser and a Maze includes the previously released track “Look How Far…” A second cut, called “Picking Dragons’ Pockets,” is out now.
Along with the album, Modest Mouse has announced a new run of U.S. headlining dates, spanning from Sept. 16 in Clearwater, Florida, to Oct. 23 in Sacramento, California. They’re also playing two shows in Seattle taking place July 10 and July 11.
