Modest Mouse stream new single Leave A Light On
Modest Mouse stream new single Leave A Light On
It’s another taste of Modest Mouse’s new album The Golden Casket.
Modest Mouse are streaming the next single from their seventh studio record ahead of its release on June 25th via Epic.
Like its predecessor We Are Between, Leave A Light On emerged out of sessions which took place between the band’s own studio in Portland, Oregon and in Los Angeles with producers Dave Sardy and Jacknife Lee.
They comprise the first LP from Modest Mouse since 2015’s Strangers To Ourselves, though the standalone single Poison The Well / I’m Still Here was released for Record Store Day in 2019.

Songstress Eartha Kitt enthralled audiences beginning in the 1940s up until just months before her death in 2008.
She’s known for the sultry Christmas classic from 1953 “Santa Baby.” But Kitt was much more than her sex-kitten image. She supported Martin Luther King Jr., and advocated for women’s rights and the LGBTQ community. And though the world viewed her as Black, she refused to be defined by the color of her skin.
Kitt fought tirelessly for others throughout her life because of her difficult early life experience, her daughter says.
“My mother really wanted to be able to give voice to anybody who needed their voices heard,” Shapiro says.
Program #244 (May 14 at 8:00pm and May 15 at 3:00pm)
A sought-after collaborator, songwriter and musician, Travis Linville’s touring instrumental work includes turns onstage with Samantha Crain and Hayes Carll and session work with too many artists to count, among them gifted American songwriter John Moreland.
In recent years, he’s performed his own music as hand-selected support for Carll, fellow Oklahomans Moreland and Parker Millsap, Todd Snider’s Hard Working Americans, and even country legend Marty Stuart.
Combined with his hundreds of solo shows, these collaborations and his recorded catalog, including 2017’s Up Ahead LP, have built for Linville a dedicated group of fans equally enamored of his nonchalant technical skill whether as his own producer and studio engineer, or on guitar, pedal steel, piano, mandolin, or any number of other instruments and his artistry and taste.

It’s been a real joy getting to play songs from Travis Linville’s upcoming album, I’m Still Here on WMOT. He’s a much sought after writing and musical collaborator in his native Oklahoma. The new album was recorded partly in Nashville and was produced by JD McPherson, featuring collaborations with Hayes Carll, as well as fellow Oklahomans John Fullbright and Jacob Tovar. He wrote the title track with The Highwomen’s Natalie Hemby and the song “Feeling We Used To Know” was written by a former bandmate some twenty years ago.
