Modest Mouse

During the live recording of "Fire It Up" at The Masonic in San Francisco on September 16, 2021, Modest Mouse was riding high on the waves of their latest album, "The Golden Casket," which was released earlier that year. This album marked a significant return for the band, as it was their first since 2015's "Strangers to Ourselves." With this performance, fans got to enjoy a taste of their evolution, blending their signature sound with fresh explorations of indie rock and beyond. Fun fact: "The Golden Casket" delves into themes of introspection and existential pondering, which are staples of Modest Mouse's songwriting. So, hearing "Fire It Up" live was not just a nostalgic journey; it was a glimpse into the band’s ongoing transformation, showcasing their enduring appeal and experimental spirit.
