Modest Mouse – “Coyotes” Video

“Coyotes” is the second song to be shared from Modest Mouse’s Strangers To Ourselves following “Lampshades On Fire.” It’s the Modest Mouse equivalent of a power ballad, and it arrives in the context of a video starring a coyote. Per fan site Interstate 8, “The video is inspired by the true story of a coyote that rode Portland’s MAX light rail train in 2002,” the same incident that inspired Sleater-Kinney’s “Light Rail Coyote.” The site also reports that “Coyotes” will be the B-side of a limited edition “Strangers To Ourselves” 7″ available with vinyl pre-orders and on release day at select retailers. Watch the video below.

Modest Mouse teased the video with a tweet on Friday:

Strangers To Ourselves is out 3/3 via Epic. Get “Coyotes” instantly when you pre-order at iTunes. The first 2,500 vinyl pre-orders at ModestMouse.com get the “Lampshades On Fire” b/w “Coyotes” 7″ for free.
