We’ve been waiting with great anticipation to get a listen to the new Modest Mouse material. Ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr joined the group a couple months ago and now Netzoo some live tracks from their Wiltern show earlier this week. Modest Mouse and Johnny Marr: Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together.
Update: Video after the jump…
Previously on GLONO: Johnny Marr gets back to his roots, Why “Rubber Ring” Is the Best Song Ever, Stop Me if You Think You’ve Heard This One.
New Song
Via the Fork.
Float On
Via the Gum.
Sound quality not too good on those tracks. I’ll reserve judgment for the official release.
Marr has to be alone in the pop/alt-rock world in his band jumping. How many bands has he joined in 25 years? As many as I can count I think I’d only manage to name half of them.
I still like The The, though.
