ALT CTRL is home to the latest and greatest in alternative music. Here, it’s as much an attitude as a sound—music that keeps things a little left of center and rough around the edges. This week, Modest Mouse returns with “Picking Dragons’ Pockets,” a dizzying single off An Eraser and a Maze, out June 5. Don't let the bright, punchy percussion and cascading guitar work fool you: “Picking Dragons' Pockets” is an upbeat reflection on the downward trajectory of humanity, how we've been desensitized in the face of madness, and how “we've been eating our own young.” Check back often, as our editors update this playlist regularly—and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
