Opening The Lonesome Crowded West, which is widely considered to be one of the foundational albums of modern indie rock, is “Teeth Like God’s Shoeshine”. That’s “Custom Concern”. It might seem like a quiet song, but watch what happens when you play it on a nice system. It draws you into the strange world that is their debut album, and implies that you might want to take some Dramamine yourself before you really get into the record. On other places in the Modest Mouse discography, they tend to get very intricate or experimental, but not with “Trailer Trash”. It’s dark and brooding, surpassing the limit of your typical sad song. It’s a snappy indie staple in which Brock sings “Even when things end up a bit too heavy/ we’ll all float on, okay,” drawing out the “ayyy” at the end.

The best Modest Mouse song has to come from Good News For People Who Love Bad News, the album that rocketed the band into the stratosphere of popular music. “Talking Shit About A Pretty Sunset” does this, except the whole thing is done gently, with a warm, yet cynical emotional buildup that leads you to a place of serenity. It feels like both the end of something and a new beginning, or at least the start of a strung-out daydream where you end up right back where you started. If only you could edit the sad parts from your own memories, the song seems to say, then, perhaps, life wouldn’t feel so hopeless. By the time the triumphant guitar solo peters into the song’s outro, listeners are left with the feeling of inherent loneliness and isolation instilled by the lyrics and exacerbated by the music. This song is about as essentially Modest Mouse as you can get, and its long been a staple for fans as well as one of the gateway tracks for those who are progressing into the catalog past “Float On” and “Ocean Breathes Salty”. “3rd Planet” is easily one of Modest Mouse’s best and most popular songs, and rightfully so. With “Heart Cooks Brain”, Issac Brock depicts the fog of depression and heartbreak, and the anxiety that stems from that combination. There are plenty of punk bands out there. Now I’m not saying Modest Mouse is falling off by any means, but I’m certainly implying that they might be headed in that direction. Yes, this force is gravity in plain terms, but in more abstract terms, the force is the weight of personal burdens, and the intentions that the universe has for itself. The first time I saw Modest Mouse it was March 2015 at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center. One of the band’s (relatively) upbeat tunes, The Moon and Antarctica’s “Paper Thin Walls” is about singer/songwriter Isaac Brock’s paranoia.

The opener to Modest Mouse’s 2000 masterpiece, The Moon & Antarctica, “3rd Planet” is an abstract song that again serves to cast the Modest Mouse spell on you and bring you into the world of the album. “Broke” is a song about low self-worth, both as a cause ans as a result of your life falling apart around you. You did it, you’ve truly missed the boat!

This cut from Modest Mouse’s 2009 EP No One’s First, and You’re Next is consummately Modest Mouse, while simultaneously being nothing like the Modest Mouse everyone knew and loved. Instead, “Ocean Breathes Salty” proved to be the song that best captured Modest Mouse’s quirkiness with an accessibility that allowed new listeners to delve into the entirety of Good News and the band’s previous works. Modest Mouse est de retour sous une nouvelle mouture en avril 2004 : Judy et Green sont remplacés par Don Gallucci et Benjamin Weikel.

Frontman Issac Brock himself is a polarizing figure, known for drinking and getting himself into trouble, yet beloved by so many for his songwriting. They blew it out of the park. Modest Mouse has certainly done that over the course of its 22 years and six studio albums. Le groupe répète dans un camp de fortune appelé The Shed avant d'être repéré par le label K Records de l'activiste alternatif Calvin Johnson (à l'origine de Sub Pop).

So, you spent a few weeks thinking about this party, picking out your outfit, and mentally preparing yourself to make a good impression. After we get to know Dan a bit, the band brings it down, and Brock proceeds to put us all on the same level, suggesting we’re all no better than Cowboy Dan.

ALthough theatrical and over-the-top, “King Rat” holds true to its melodic, discordant and just-plain weird characteristics, which are absolutely Modest Mouse-esque. Founded in Washington in the early 1990’s, Modest Mouse established itself as a band that helped define the sound of the Pacific Northwest indie rock scene. It’s a badass rock ‘n’ roll song with something slightly off-kilter about it, and it’s proven itself to be one of their most definitive songs over the years. Isaac Brock, chanteur et guitariste, forme Modest Mouse en 1993 à Issaquah, dans l'État de Washington. There is hardly a better garage rock song ever written. “Edit the Sad Parts” is a longtime fan favorite, but it’s only been played live twice in the band’s entire existence. They are just a very hit or miss band across the board, but we’re all for it. We can appreciate this song for what it is while at the same time being glad that the band didn’t go in this direction with more of their songs. Modest Mouse often uses elements of punk in their music, but “Shit Luck” is one of their only songs that fully embraces that aspect of their sound. Modest Mouse is often characterized by frontman Isaac Brock’s distinctively lispy vocals, their memorable guitar riffs, and their truly unique musical style. Brock evokes that gasping-for-air feeling as he sings, “Traveling, swallowing Dramamine / Feeling spaced, breathing out Listerine.”.
