Modest Mouse: Lampshades on Fire
In yet another simplistic social media post, Modest Mouse rolled out the album cover for Strangers to Ourselves. Expanding on the single artwork for "Lampshades on Fire," the visual for the new Modest Mouse album shows an expansive, symmetrical suburbia.
Centered by an arena of sorts, the suburbia in Modest Mouse's world seems to be hyper-focused on sports. The arena is surrounded by various other event fields, including pools, football stadiums and a few baseball diamonds. Beyond the sporting areas, there are rows and rows of identical houses arranged in a decagon, with plenty of idyllic greenery between homes.

Modest Mouse revealed the Strangers to Ourselves artwork alongside a pre-sale of the album. Packages range from $14 for the album to $500 for a "LP + Vintage Poster Package," which includes rare posters from Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock's archives. A package with a T-shirt and one with a hoodie are also available.
Strangers to Ourselves will be released on March 3, 2015. It will be Modest Mouse's first album since 2007's We Were Dead Before This Ship Even Sank. The album will also mark the first new Modest Mouse music in six years - the band last released the No One's First and You're Next EP in August 2009.
