"The Ground Walks With Time In A Box" comes from Strangers to Ourselves, the album Modest Mouse released on Epic in March 2015, and it's the band at their most jittery and art-rock restless. Isaac Brock wrote the words and shares the music credit with Jeremiah Green, Russell Higbee, Lisa Molinaro and Tom Peloso.
Andrew Weiss produced it, a small army of engineers worked the sessions, and John McEntire and Jeremy Sherrer mixed it. William Slater's banjo runs through the clatter like an odd rustic thread, in a song that twitches and lurches like a wind-up toy with a loose spring.
