7-inches in heaven

Modest Mouse fans can start getting their hopes up again. After being disappointed in April, when a much anticipated 7-inch was supposed to hit record stores and neglected to show up on shelves, Modest Mouse has now said the record will actually be released on May 26. The 7-inch is supposed to have two brand new songs on it, “Satellite Skin,” and “Guilty Cocker Spaniels.” Even though the record didn’t show on its scheduled time, it should be worth the wait. For the record junkies out there, this 7-inch is going to be pressed on orange vinyl and will be limited to 4,000 copies. Very cool. On top of that, Modest Mouse is planning to release three more of these 7-inch records in a build-up to the planned release of their new EP, No One’s First and You’re Next in August. For the impatient ones of you out there, Modest Mouse will premiere a video for “Satellite Skin” on May 15 on their MySpace page. August may seem like a long way off, but hopefully these teasers along the way (and awesome vinyl teasers at that) will make the wait a little more bearable.
