Modest Mouse news has been a little quiet since the band finished their tour a little over a month ago, but here's a decent length interview with Jim Fairchild talking about his guitar setup that has just been brought to our attention.
The interview was taped just before the band's Nashville show back in July by Premier Guitar. Jim talks about a wide range of his guitars, as well as his peddle setup, and how the "steel drum" sound on "Ansel" was actually performed on a ukulele.
