The Golden Casket by Modest Mouse
The Golden Casket is an album by Modest Mouse, released in 2021. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 20 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “We Are Between”, on 13 lists with a best position of #4.
The Golden Casket, Modest Mouse's seventh album, arrived on Epic on June 25, 2021, six years after Strangers to Ourselves, with Dave Sardy and Jacknife Lee sharing production. Isaac Brock, the one constant through the band's long parade of lineups, still yelps and mutters like a man arguing with the universe, and the songs keep that restless, wide-eyed jitter.
"We Are Between", "Leave a Light On" and "The Sun Hasn't Left" went out ahead of it. The record now carries a weight nobody planned: Jeremiah Green, the drummer who had been there from the start, never made another album with the band before his death the next year, and Tom Peloso, Jim Fairchild and Lisa Molinaro don't appear on anything after it either. That makes it the closing chapter of a whole era of the band.
