Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank

Pacifico

Its out on iTunes although the UK release date is the 2nd of April.

So far it seams like a solid album with some excellent additions from Johnny Marr.
Favourite tracks: "Dashboard", Parting of the sensory", "Missed the boat", "Education", "Little Motel" "Steam Engenius" and "Spitting Venom"

Also, Modest Mouse just announced their summer tour locations, no Irish date unfortunately. London in May seams like the best bet

Always listening to Dashboard on their myspace. Didnt notice this was out yet...was thinking april/may! Got to get it now...better be worth that extra three euro =P

The London date has been up for ages, it's sold out as far as i know... Missed the Boat and Education are my fav's

Havent listened to the album yet, but as for no appearance of an Irish show yet - usually the Irish show is one of the last to be announced on a European tour. I don't know why, but its happened a few times. They'll probably announce it in the next few weeks.

They've never played here though so might well skip us again.

was disappointed with this, even tho i really MM. Dashboard is great as is parting of the sensory and spitting venom. maybe its a bit upbeat for me (not a criticism - im just being subjective ) i like the depressing slower songs usually (baby blue sedan/pretty sunset/the one about eating snowflakes with plastic forks that i disappointingly cant remember the name of *shame*)
