While reports of a glittering white unicorn trotting down Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg are still unverified, Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock has confirmed a similarly mythical rumor: Former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr is now a permanent part of the Pacific-Northwest band.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Brock said Marr "made a cautious commitment to write and record with us, and then the tighter we got, he was like 'OK, let's tour too.'"
Modest Mouse, with newby Marr, will tour in support of their forthcoming album, We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank, which Marr helped write and record.
Brock told Rolling Stone that after the decision to have Marr tour with the Modest Mouse, "he was pretty much a member of the band—not pretty much. He's a full blown member of the band. It's really fuckin' nice."
Fuckin' nice, indeed.
