Modest Mouse

In May 2014, Modest Mouse was riding high on the success of their 2015 album, 'Strangers to Ourselves,' which marked their return after a lengthy hiatus. The live performance of 'Ocean Breathes Salty' at the Hangout Music Festival captures the band’s unique blend of indie rock and introspective lyrics that have resonated with fans since their breakthrough. By this point in their career, they had solidified their place in the music scene with hits like 'Float On' and were known for their energetic live shows. Interestingly, this performance showcases their ability to adapt older favorites into a live setting, ensuring that each rendition feels fresh yet nostalgic. The connection with their audience is palpable, and it’s a testament to their growth and enduring appeal in the ever-changing music landscape.
