Modest Mouse has never been afraid to wander into strange territory, and Picking Dragons’ Pockets sounds like another journey into the unexpected. The title alone hints at impossible risks and absurd adventures, the kind of storytelling that has always separated the band from its peers.
What makes music like this so compelling is the willingness to ignore formulas. Decades into their career, Modest Mouse continues to prove that curiosity and creativity don’t have expiration dates, and Masters Radio is proud to showcase artists who still enjoy taking chances.
