Known as the ‘Father of Claymation,’ Vinton revolutionised the animation business during the 1980’s and 90’s. But after 30 years of being the unheralded king of clay, Will Vinton’s carefully sculpted American dream came crumbling down.”Brock’s rockier cover of the original soul song appears in the film.

The song, written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong in 1966 was covered by Gladys Knight and the Pips as well as The Miracles and Marvin Gaye.Check out Brock’s take on the classic here:Meanwhile, Modest Mouse recently revealed that they have got “seven new songs coming out pretty soon”.Speaking to NME at this year’s Mad Cool festival, the band revealed that they’ve been hard at work on new material.When asked if they were working on new music, Brock said: “Yeah, I got seven new songs coming out pretty soon.
