The song's percussion relies on jacked drumstick claps and electro-bongos as no less than five guitar tracks float on aching melodies. Suddenly, echoing, truck-sized drums stomp over the ebow-dripping chorus as Brock repeatedly pronounces under a sheet of reverb, "The universe is shaped exactly like the Earth/ If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were." Those failing to find the brilliance inherent in Modest Mouse at this point, please check in your Xanax at the window and an agent will escort you to the Target music department.īy the time track two, "Gravity Rides Everything," begins with backwards drums, strums, and plucks, it's quite evident Mouse Mouse have traveled well beyond their past. Isaac plucks a lovely fluttering acoustic bed before he admits, "Everything that keeps us together is falling apart," tersely summing the human condition and the theme of the record in ten seconds. "3rd Planet" opens the record innocently enough. Singing guitarist Isaac Brock constantly obsesses over the afterlife, and with Deck's help he's found it, far out in space and inside his clouded, scattered brain. Piano, cello, sleighbells, keyboards, chimes, and more can be excavated from the mix. Layers upon layers of treated and raw sounds blend into a thick headtrip. The growth, bravery, and confidence are staggering for a trio that most recently hammered through a song about "doin' the cockroach." Producer Brian Deck of Red Red Meat conjures the supernatural. You officially have not heard Modest Mouse until you have heard their major label debut. The latter of which currently questions my ascertations. Modest Mouse generate a divide between the venerating and violent like few other bands. For at least a few months, the world can stop waiting for Radiohead's next album, and start wondering how in the hell Modest Mouse will ever top the monumental, ground-breaking, hypnotic, sublime The Moon & Antarctica. At this point, I think the world agrees on OK Computer as the last major event in album rock. I've argued that this occurs approximately every three years, due to slight financial recessions. Yet every so often- whether due to astronomical occurrences, economic fluctuations, or inherent quality cycles (which have all actually been debated at one point)- an album comes along that inhibits our serotonin uptake, cleans our ears, palpitates our hearts, ignites our passion, and justifies our existence. (Some lady beat us to the punch with our farming equipment site at, but we're still looking into .) Plus, we're not even trying to sell anything on the Internet, further compounding our stubbornness. We talk about music constantly on the Internet, which, admittedly, is geeky. And this isn't even done in the photogenic setting of a stoop or a coffeeshop. (Unless Ryan's holding back on me.) Mostly we sit around discussing music. We have converted no lofts into spacious playpens loaded with iMacs and Nerf hoops. Writers wearing button-down shirts with the sleeves rolled up don't hustle around a maze of cubicles while Ryan chews out rookies in his office. CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, ESPN, BBC, NPR.It's not very exciting behind the scenes at Pitchfork.
