It's been a while since this has happened: Modest Mouse have announced a new album—their first since 2009's No One's First and You're Next. It's called Strangers to Ourselves, and it's out March 3, the Modest Mouse fan site Interstate-8 reports.
The news was reported via a fan's Twitter account, who received a test pressing of the recently teased single "Lampshades on Fire". It came accompanied with a note saying that the song would be released on Tuesday (December 16) and revealed the album's title and release date. (Check out a live performance of the single below.)

Here are 35 prospective records that are keeping our hopes up for music in 2015, including albums we can't believe are happening (Sleater-Kinney! Giorgio Moroder!), albums by living legends (Kanye! Björk!), and also a handful of promising debuts. We're also looking forward to a few intriguing and possibly great experiments, like Antony working with Hudson Mohawke and Run the Jewels working with cats
For Matt Flegel and Mike Wallace—formerly of the sadly curtailed Calgarian art-rock outfit Women—the return to active duty in Viet Cong has been a slow and steady process of reinvention and refinement. But after a solid year of dues-payin’ tours and the release of a free-ranging, crudely recorded merch-table cassette, Viet Cong are ready to unveil their first proper album January 20.
Two miserable experiences hang heavily over the band Viet Cong. First came the acrimonious dissolution of Women, of which bassist Matt Flegel and drummer Michael Wallace were members. Not long after came the death of that band's guitarist, Chris Reimer.

Sleater-Kinney is back, and this isn't some limp reunion, a cash-grab victory lap for nostalgic gen-Xers and grown-up riot grrrls. Throughout No Cities to Love, the band's first new album in 10 years, Carrie Brownstein, Corin Tucker and Janet Weiss spit fire, drop truth bombs and sound incredible. Tight and tense, like a fist readying itself for a punch. Every blow lands; decisive, precise, punishing, perfect.
I'm personally looking forward to new albums from The Decemberists, Modest Mouse and Strung Out. Strung Out in particular as their album was supposed to be released springtime last year and got delayed for some reason.

A new Slowdive album would follow the new Swervedriver album out in March whilst Mark Gardener stated in a recent interview that new material from Ride is a “definite”.
