Modest Mouse will release Strangers to Ourselves, their first new studio album since 2007, on March 17. But the band is apparently already at work on a follow up, as singer Isaac Brock revealed in an interview with HMV (via Stereogum). "I’m pretty far along with the next one as it is," he said in a published excerpt. "I went in to making this one with two records in mind."

He added: "It’ll be released as quickly as it’s legally allowed to be. It’s a partner to this one."

The band has shared Strangers to Ourselves cuts "Lampshades on Fire", "Of Course We Know", "The Best Room", "The Ground Walks, With Time in a Box", and "Coyotes".
