Modest Mouse

In 2014, when Modest Mouse played at Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, they were riding the wave of renewed creative energy after a break. This performance came a few years after their widely acclaimed album, "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank," which was released in 2007. By 2014, the band was working towards their sixth studio album, hinting at a new direction and a fresh sound. A fun tidbit? This performance features the iconic track "The World at Large," which has a nostalgic feel that resonates well with crowds. It's interesting to note that the band’s unique blend of indie rock and thoughtful lyrics has made them a staple in the alternative scene, securing a spot in the hearts of both old and new fans alike. The live recording captures not just the band’s signature sound but also a moment of anticipation as they evolved musically.
