Get this: Outkast's Big Boi has been assisting in the production of Modest Mouse's new album. Though Issac Brock, singer-guitarist of the band, and the guys haven't mentioned anything, Big Boi dropped a series of excited tweets about their work.

"Me and @mouche1 [producer Chris Carmouche] in the studio workin with Modest Mouse on their new album Turnt up ! Shout out to Issac and the crew!"; "Been camped out in the Lab with Modest Mouse all week, workin on the new mouse LP, coolest cats ever. Long Live The Funk"; "Modest Mousin' it."

This comes as an interesting collaboration to Modest Mouse's flagship, signature indie twang. Will there be rapping? Epic 808 bombs? Who knows. On the other hand, "Broke" would have been pretty cool with a verse of lyrics spittin' about having no damn money.

There's no set release date or title for the album, however, don't scratch Turnt Up! off the pad just yet.
