New Track: Modest Mouse – “The Whale Song”

Modest Mouse - Autumn Beds

As with “Autumn Beds”, it’s B-Side “The Whale Song” is now streaming over at The Trip Wire. For those of you, like me, who saw this song live in 2008, or earlier this year, it can only be improved in the studio, and it was. The whale-like guitar is still there, and the song is easily the most menacing thing they’ve released since The Moon and Antarctica. Honestly, it should’ve been the A-Side here, but that’s a whole different argument.

“Autumn Beds” b/w “The Whale Song is out June 23rd. You can get it here or on iTunes, if you haven’t experienced the revival. Modest Mouse fall tour dates and “The Whale Song” after the jump.
