(Radio.com) Modest Mouse have been teasing their followup to 2009's No One's First and You're Next EP and 2007 full-length We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank for five years now, but it's finally becoming real.

Shortly after the band announced their next album Strangers to Ourselves, they released the first single, "Lampshades on Fire." The track, an upbeat throwback to the Pacific Northwest band's mid-aughts "Float On" era, premiered on Minnesota's The Current radio station this morning. It was also apparently sent as a test pressing to a fan who posted a picture of it online along with the accompanying note that said the single would be available for purchase tomorrow, Dec. 16.

It also contained the title and release date of their new album, which is reportedly March 3. Mouse tweeted "So sick!! Thanks @modestmouseband!! Can't wait #marchthird #strangerstoourselves http://t.co/e0x9cY43kt- Modest Mouse (@ModestMouse123) December 14, 2014." Read more here.
