Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Modest Mouse is the new cult. The new sound. The new redefinition of rock. Front man Isaac Brock--a scrawny, drug-ravaged figure from the Northwest of America--has been singing his tales of social and mental isolation, his stories of life from the Edge Cities of America, for years now. Rolling his words round in circular motions, always flurried, always concerned above a background that draws on elements of Joy Division, Radiohead, DJ Shadow--anyone intense with a guitar and a mixing desk; anyone who believes in the cleansing, scouring power of music. On The Moon & Antarctica, guitars bend and warp into the oddest of shapes, while words swim intoxicatingly round the mind. Look at the song titles: "Wild Packs Of Family Dogs", "Paper Thin Walls", "I Came as a Rat"--each one is a minor novella. The proof is here; this American trio is bigger than life itself. --Everett True
Description
After wowing the college and indie rock world with two lauded independent CDs, THIS IS A LONG RIDE FOR SOMEONE WITH NOTHING TO THINK ABOUT and THE LONESOME CROWDED WEST as well asmany EPs, Modest Mouse signed to a major. This is often a cause for apprehension with indie favourites, but THE MOON & ANTARCTICA weathers these concerns.
While the band's lo-fi sound is a little higher-fi in this major label debut, thebasic pop structures that have always tied Modest Mouse's music together are pushed more to the forefront, and the production works well. All sonic changes are slight, and the band's sardonic, slightly skewed lyrics, with their evasive take on modern life, maintain their bite. Even the poppiest tune, the breezy "Gravity Rides Everything", is fraught with tape-effects and arrhythmic percussion. The band also retains a punked-out, dissonant, discordant approach on some tracks,such as the infectious "A Different City" and the creepy "Alone Out There". THE MOON & ANTARCTICA finds Modest Mouse with its musical integrity still intact.
