Back in February, Modest Mouse front man Isaac Brock mentioned to Rolling Stone a new EP. That currently-untitled EP will feature unreleased songs from the band's two latest albums. Rumored track so far have been "Autumn Beds," "The Whale Song," and "Satellite Skin." While no release date has been announced, the band has been playing some of the tracks on the road, and video has finally surfaced of one of them. Below is a video of "Satellite Skin," and while the quality is mediocre at best, it still gives you a good sense of how the song will [...]

Rumors of a forthcoming Modest Mouse EP have been floating around the web since February, and although there still aren't any concrete details to report (the disc is said to include "repolished outtakes from Modest Mouse's last two discs"), one...
In February, Pitchfork news reported on comments by from Isaac Brock made to Rolling Stone 's "Smoking Section" column about an upcoming Modest Mouse EP. One of the songs mentioned in the article was called "Satellite Skin", and whatever the current status of this EP, performances of the song on the band's current tour are showing up in YouTube. This one looks to date from the last week or so, and while sound and picture quality are not ideal, you do get a sense of how this punchy and initially appealing mid-tempo number [...]
