Modest Mouse Return With First New Song in Five Years, “Look How Far…,” and Announce Summer Tour

Modest Mouse is back. The band has released their first new song in five years and a new run of North American tour dates for the summer.
“Look How Far…” is a short yet urgent song with the quirky, jangly guitars that made the group famous. Russell Higbee‘s beefy bass drives the groove, giving the verses all of their punch and the choruses their shape.
The new dates, which spread from the West Coast to the East, add onto a previously announced outing that kicks off in May. See below for the full tour dates.
