"We Are Between" arrived in June 2021 on The Golden Casket, and it finds Modest Mouse handing a surprising amount of the heavy lifting to its producers. Jacknife Lee, who produced it with David Sardy, also plays the drums, bass and keyboards, sings alongside Isaac Brock, engineers and mixes the thing. Sardy stacks synthesizer, organ and chimes on top, and three electric guitars (Brock, Russell Higbee and Sardy) tangle underneath, with Ben Massarella on percussion.
The writing credit, though, belongs to the band: Brock, Jim Fairchild, Jeremiah Green, Higbee and Tom Peloso. Whatever the studio headcount, the song is still theirs.
