===''Strangers to Ourselves'', ''The Golden Casket'' and Jeremiah Green's death: 2015–2022===
Eight years after the release of ''We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank'', Modest Mouse released ''[[Strangers to Ourselves]]'' on March 17, 2015. On December 15, 2014, they released the lead single "Lampshades on Fire" which debuted on Twin Cities public radio station [[89.3 The Current]]. On December 16, 2014, Modest Mouse made ''Strangers to Ourselves'' available for pre-order for CD and LP formats on the [[Glacial Pace]] website and on the iTunes store.

In 2015, Brock described the follow-up album to ''Strangers to Ourselves'' as being like a part two to the latter album that they would try to release as soon as legally possible.<ref>{{cite web|last=Gordon |first=Jeremy |url=https://pitchfork.com/news/58793-modest-mouse-to-follow-strangers-to-ourselves-with-new-album-as-quickly-as-its-legally-allowed/ |title=Modest Mouse to Follow ''Strangers to Ourselves'' With New Album "As Quickly As It's Legally Allowed" |date=10 March 2015 |publisher=Pitchfork |access-date=2015-03-16}}</ref> The follow-up album has also been said to feature at least one song with [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]] bassist [[Krist Novoselic]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Kaye|first=Ben|url=https://consequence.net/2015/03/modest-mouses-next-album-due-out-in-2016-features-nirvanas-krist-novoselic/|title=Modest Mouse's next album, due out in 2016, features Nirvana's Krist Novoselic|website=Consequence.net|date=24 March 2015|access-date=26 June 2021}}</ref>

Richardson was particularly fond of the album's stripped-down finale, "Back to the Middle", which he noted "hints at what should be [the band's] next change-up: Keep it simple. If the songs are strong and the performances are there, guitar, bass and drums will be more than enough.<ref name="auto"/>

In an interview in 2022, celebrating 15 years of ''We Were Dead before The Ship Even Sank'', Isaac Brock and Johnny Marr revealed that they were writing songs together again, the first of which is called "Rivers of Rivers". The writing took place in a "pen pal" kind of way, with Brock saying that there were more songs to be developed in 2022 together "once the world tilts back on its axis".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Clarke |first1=Patrick |title=Johnny Marr and Modest Mouse have been writing new music together |url=https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/johnny-marr-and-modest-mouse-have-been-writing-new-music-together-3188108 |website=NME |date=22 March 2022 |publisher=BandLab Technologies |access-date=4 May 2022}}</ref>

In July 2022 the band was mixing a nine-song companion EP to ''The Golden Casket'', with Marr confirmed to appear on one of the tracks.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Ragusa |first1=Paolo |title=Modest Mouse at Mad Cool Festival 2022: The Golden Casket Companion EP and Writing with Johnny Marr |url=https://consequence.net/video/modest-mouse-interview-mad-cool-festival-new-ep/ |website=[[Consequence of Sound]] |publisher= |access-date=22 July 2022 |date=21 July 2022}}</ref>

In the midst of a tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of ''The Lonesome Crowded West'', drummer and founding member [[Jeremiah Green]] took an unannounced leave of absence.
