The paranoia manifests itself most prominently on the album’s centerpiece, “Transmitting Receiving.” For nearly six minutes, Brock runs through a list of the signifiers of our environment, both natural and electronic.
And while he still plops a tablet in his young kids’ laps, he frets about what that’s doing too.īrock has channeled these fears about invisible frequencies and the like into Modest Mouse’s new record, The Golden Casket, out Friday. He recently bought a microphone allegedly strong enough to capture a snail’s heartbeat in order to record rogue soundwaves. In the time since his band’s last album, 2015’s Stranger to Ourselves, Brock has listened to concerning TED Talks about mind control and watched documentaries like Third Eye Spies, which delves into the phenomenon of remote viewing. The Modest Mouse frontman is worried about technology and the harmful effects it’s having on us. In an ideal world, Isaac Brock will be wrong about all of this shit.
