According to frontman Isaac Brock, the band, including former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, will go into the studio to write together in March.

Brock also told Rolling Stone that he is currently putting the finishing touches to a new Modest Mouse EP which will consist of outtakes from the band’s previous two albums.
