Modest Mouse – “Look How Far…”

Modest Mouse have been playing a ton of live shows lately. At some of those shows, they've been playing an unreleased song called "Look How Far...," which is now officially released and marks Modest Mouse's first proper single since their 2021 album The Golden Casket. It's an upbeat, frantic, and somewhat misanthropic anthem about feeling like the best is not yet to come. "I can’t believe how long I’ve wanted to be living in the past," Isaac Brock laments, before reaching a big singalong chorus: "Look how far we haven’t come!/ Oh my god we’re so fucking dumb!" Per the Tidal credits, the drums come courtesy of ex-Sleater-Kinney drummer Janet Weiss. Listen below.
