Modest Mouse have posted an official video for their ‘Strangers To Ourselves‘ lead single ‘Lampshades On Fire‘ just after the LP debuted inside the Top 40 on the UK Album Chart.
“The album’s sprawling fifteen song-set opens with slow cello strokes and warm stand up bass plucks,” our album review reads.
“The title track’s sparse production and slow tempo makes for a nostalgic reunion, while the band bring the energy up on lead single ‘Lampshades On Fire’. The song is a prototypical Modest Mouse affair, filled with jumpy vocals from Brock, quirky studio sound effects and tumbling drums.”
“It will be a quintessential addition to their outstanding live show. The booming ‘Shit In Your Gut’ is dark and murky, and features an outstanding riff which may be the long lost cousin of The Killers’ ‘Uncle Jonny’.
The video was directed by Jorge Torres-Torres, stars Natasha Lyonne and can be viewed on Live4ever at this link.
