Modest Mouse just debuted their first song in five years alongside a slate of new 2026 tour dates.

“Look How Far…” shows the band in classic form, with angular guitar riffs and a shambolic four-on-the-floor dance beat paired with frontman Isaac Brock’s trademark yowl. The song clocks in under two minutes; a brief primal scream of anguish amid stompy grooves.

It’s the band’s first offering since 2021’s The Golden Casket, but you wouldn’t know it. The song’s doomed outlook, exemplified in lyrics like, “Look how far we haven’t come / Oh my god, we’re so fucking dumb,” could have been just as relevant in the first months of the coronavirus outbreak and the first Trump regime as it is today.

Light on lyrical flourishes and melodic hooks though it may be, the song is redeemed by an energy that’s reminiscent of some of the band’s lesser-known work released prior to their turn as early-aughts radio-rock staple. “Look How Far…” has more in common with earlier punky rave-ups like “Shit Luck” than the indie-folk anthems that earned the band their stripes.

Though Modest Mouse has been active for 30+ years, the new song sounds as fresh as anything they’ve done—if lacking the pop sensibilities of a “Float On.” This slice of vintage Mouse makes me thankful rock hasn’t come all that far either, because I like it like this: honest, raw, and raucous. Listen below.

Plus, New Tour dates announced

The new track comes alongside a new stretch of headlining tour dates for the band, expanding the previously announced run with 13 more shows. The new dates begin July 2 in Bellingham, Washington, and continue through the end of August with an appearance at the Alaska State Fair on the 28th.

They’ve got a ton more festival dates planned for this year as well, including Utah’s Kilby Block Party, Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, Atlanta’s Shaky Knees, and more. The band celebrated their inaugural Ice Cream Floats Cruise earlier this year, with Portugal. The Man, Kurt Vile and the Violators, Mannequin Pussy, and more.
