Modest Mouse offers unparalleled mix of rock, beats, themes
One of the neatest bands I've come across this decade is Modest Mouse. They combine eclectic themes with a musical style that feels anachronistic, yet rocks hard and even approaches break beat at times. Weird huh?
Their latest release comes complete with guitar-god Johnny Marr of Smith's fame. I've only listened to few tracks, but anyone familiar with their previous material should be satisfied.
For the unaware, be prepared to be challenged, but work through the initial disdain and you will find something raw, honest and meaningful. I promise.
When I first heard their song, Float On, I couldn't stand it. After seeing their video for about the 10th time I realized I liked the song. If I hadn't been patient I would have lost out on great songs like The View and Bury Me With It.
