Modest Mouse

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Issaquah, WA, indie rock trio Modest Mouse was formed in 1993 by vocalist/guitarist Isaac Brock, bassist Eric Judy, and drummer Jeremiah Green. After honing their muscular sound in "The Shed" -- a makeshift practice space built by Brock on the land next to his mother's trailer -- Modest Mouse entered Calvin Johnson's Dub Narcotic Studios to cut their 1994 self-titled debut single, released on Johnson's K Records label. Following a move to the Up label, the trio issued two 1996 LPs, This Is a Long Drive for Someone With Nothing to Think About...[more]

 

 

At last! Modest Mouse's anxiously awaited follow-up to 2001's "The Moon and Antarctica." The 16-track 'Good News' was produced by Dennis Herring (Camper Van Beethoven, Throwing Muses) and is led by the rollicking, ultra-catchy single "Float On." The album features the debut of new drummer Benjamin Weikel, as well as the return of original guitarist Dan Gallucci, who returned after his other band, The Murder City Devils, broke up. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band (!) guests on "The Devil's Workday," while Dave Fri   [ read more ]

Insound Staff Pick - 2008! Although you can hear echoes of the Minutemen and Nirvana, along with slightly larger ensembles such as Pavement and Thrush Hermit, Modest Mouse puts an entirely new twist on the post-punk power trio concept. The band eschews the camouflage of noise, effects, and attitude employed by many of their indie rock peers to create ironic distance. Instead, they strictly rely on inventive, surprising songwriting, and low-key-but-committed performance to lay their claim as innovator   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Sad Sappy Sucker is their lost album recorded in November 1994, originally intended to be the band's debut full-length. The 24 songs that comprise it mark the earliest recordings of Modest Mouse as a band, evolving from founder Isaac Brock's four-track solo project. Due to unforeseen delays, it was shelved in favor of "This is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About" (Up Records, 1996). In addition to the 12 songs recorded at Dub Narcotic Studio by Calvin Johnson, "Sad Sapp   [ read more ]

REISSUE. Here's the skinny: The band completely remastered "The Moon & Antarctica," added all new artwork, and included four bonus tracks never before released. These tracks ("3rd Planet," "Perfect Disguise," "Custom Concern (instr.)," and "Tiny Cities Made of Ashes") were taken from a BBC session done in July of 1999, nearly a year before The Moon & Antarctica's original release.

Expanding upon the themes of emotional and geographic isolation found in the band's previous work, "This Is a Long Drive for Someone With Nothing to Think About" finds Modest Mouse mixing slow, brooding numbers such as "Custom Concern" and "Talking Shit About a Pretty Sunset" with thrashing guitar workouts like "Breakthrough" and "Head South." The general mood here is one of loneliness and desperation, eloquently expressed through both the lyrics and the rhythmic, sprawling instrumentation. "Dramamine," for   [ read more ]
