Krist Novoselic To Feature On Next Modest Mouse Album

The news comes just two weeks after frontman Isaac Brock told Rolling Stone magazine the bassist was brought in to work with his band on new album Strangers To Ourselves - but the collaboration didn't work out.

Brock explained, "He's (Novoselic) one of the nicest dudes I've met, likes to party... (but) Krist's got a specific style that doesn't necessarily lend itself to a large variety of songs."

The frontman revealed he is hoping some of the songs the band recorded with Novoselic will make it onto Modest Mouse's next album - and now it seems the Nirvana star will be a big part of the project.

Brock says Novoselic's contribution "fits the companion piece to this record a bit better".

He adds, "We basically made two records at the same time."
