Modest Mouse

By July 2016, Modest Mouse had recently released their album *Strangers to Ourselves* in March of that year, marking their first studio album in over eight years. This period was an exciting time for the band as they aimed to reconnect with fans and explore new sounds after a lengthy hiatus. The live performance of 'Grey Ice Water' at The Mann Center in Philadelphia captures the essence of their evolution, blending introspective lyrics with a sharper, more assertive sonic palette. Interestingly, *Strangers to Ourselves* features a mix of old and new influences, bridging their classic indie rock vibe with more experimental elements. This concert not only showcased their return but also highlighted a rejuvenated stage presence, drawing fans back into their world. It's a testament to Modest Mouse's persistence and creativity, reminding us all of how music continues to grow, even after years of silence.
