Modest Mouse

In July 2014, Modest Mouse was riding high on the wave of anticipation surrounding their sixth studio album, 'Strangers to Ourselves,' which was released in 2015. This performance of 'The World at Large' during their live show in Calgary showcases the band's unique blend of indie rock and introspective lyrics that have garnered them a loyal fan base over the years. Interestingly, this live clip captures their evolution post-'We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank' (2007), highlighting their transition toward new sounds. During this period, the band went through lineup changes, notably with the return of former guitarist Johnny Marr for touring, which added a fresh dynamic to their live shows. The energy at MacEwan Hall was electric, with fans eagerly connecting to the evocative themes in their music, setting the stage for what's next in their storied career.
