Big Boi calls working with Modest Mouse a "brain-stormin', tsunami, typhoon, tectonic-plates-moving kind of thing"

Last week, the music bubble corner of the internet was up in arms over a series of tweets from Outkast’s Big Boi that indicated he was working in the studio with Modest Mouse on their new album.

Today, in an interview with MTV News, Big Boi confirmed the project, explaining:

“We do all types of music, so to get the chance to jam with a jammin’-ass band, I knew it was going to be cool. We had a vibe too. We made a couple of records that are just jamming. It’s a hodgepodge of funkiness. Mainly, me and Chris [Carmouche] are acting as producers on the record. I’m not rapping on anything, as of yet. It’s their music. The fans don’t have to worry. If there needs to be some rapping on there, I will destroy it, but right now, we’re just really marinating with the music to see where everything’s going to go. Just know this motherfucker is jamming, man. Believe me.”

If we’re being honest? We can hardly wait.
