Casper & the Cookies have unveiled three songs as a sampling of their forthcoming album, Modern Silence. This is the group’s follow-up to ‘06’s The Optimist’s Club. The album is the product of nine months spent working alongside Bill Doss (Olivia Tremor Control, Apples in Stereo, The Sunshine Fix).

Each week during the month of October Casper & the Cookies are releasing one previously unreleased song form Modern Science unto the blog world.

Frontman and principal songwriter Jason NeSmith offers this cryptic statement on the album: “Modern Silence: a phrase that evokes a number of themes. We used most of them: awkward long distance phone calls - language barriers - social anxiety - absence (or a general lack of presence) - a sudden numbing realization that one can no longer think of oneself as a good person - extraterrestrial friendship - and of course jazz-mime.”

Last week Three Imaginary Girls featured “Little King”. This week Optical Atlas will release “Sunshine Girl” on Friday, October 17th. You Ain’t No Picasso will do the honors on Oct. 24th.
