Modest Mouse Confirms Release Date, Track List

Modest Mouse has set a March 20 release date for its new Epic album, "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank." The 14-track set is led by the single "Dashboard," which is No. 10 in its third week on Billboard's Modern Rock chart. A video for the song was recently directed by Motion Theory.

Starting Tuesday (Jan. 30), fans who pre-order the album via iTunes will receive an immediate download of "Dashboard" as well an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip from the video shoot.

Four songs have been added to the 10 Billboard.com previewed in December: opener "March Into the Sea," the twitchy "Fly Trapped in a Jar," the subdued, spacy "Little Motel" and "People As Places As People." The Shins' James Mercer guests on three tracks: "We've Got Everything," "Florida" and "Missed the Boat."

Billboard.com has learned Modest Mouse, which now features former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, will play some West Coast U.S. dates in March and then hit the road for a world tour upon release of the album.
