"'Satellite Skin'" is a single released by indie rock band Modest Mouse. It is the first single from their EP, 'No One's First and You're Next'.
The song was originally slated for an April 18, 2009 released date, but was pushed back to May 26, 2009 because Isaac Brock didn't like the color of the vinyl, as it wasn't the right shade of orange. The vinyl is limited to 4000 hand numbered copies.
