Although best known for his drumming with Modest Mouse, Green was also behind the kit for Peeved, Red Stars Theory, Satisfact and Vells in the 1990s.
Green’s drumming style was particularly praised by indie rock critics.
Earlier this year, the band announced that it would release ‘seven new songs’ in the new year.
Frontman Isaac said, “We have seven new songs coming out soon. As soon as we finished the last album, I had a thorn in my side that everyone said, “Why does it take so long to put out records?”
‘Because I find other interests! Not all good, but f*** it! I don’t want to answer that question anymore, so I have a record that I’m very happy with.’
