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 ]

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.

Since first breaking into the mainstream in 2004 with their hit, "Float On," platinum-selling artist Modest Mouse has broken endless boundaries for indie music, and their impressive back catalog has always been essential for hardcore fans to own.

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 ]

Now that Modest Mouse have fully established themselves as a major-label indie rock band -- no longer an oxymoron! -- with the success of 2004's Good News for People Who Love Bad News (though they had actually been on Sony, through Epic, since 2000's The Moon & Antarctica), they face the difficult task of trying to follow up a mainstream hit while still retaining the adroit quirkiness that won them fans in the first place.
