Modest Mouse Live at The Forum Performing on Tour with Brand New
In 2016, when Modest Mouse took the stage at The Forum in Inglewood, they were riding high on the momentum from their album "Strangers to Ourselves," released the previous year. This album marked their first full-length release in eight years, a long wait that thrilled devoted fans. Tapping into their signature blend of introspective lyrics and eclectic instrumentation, it received a warm reception, showcasing the band’s resilience in the ever-evolving indie rock scene. Touring alongside Brand New added a special vibe to the event, as both bands share a dedicated following. Interestingly, despite the hiatus, "Strangers to Ourselves" included some of the band’s most infectious tracks, like "Lampshades on Fire," proving they hadn't lost their touch. Modest Mouse's performance at this live recording captured that palpable energy, where nostalgia met new material, creating a magical experience for both longtime fans and newcomers.
