MODEST MOUSE


Modest Mouse were one of the most surprising commercial success stories of the new millennium -- while their music was by turns 

taut and elliptical, and the lyrics sometimes cryptic and introspective, the band broke through to the mainstream audience 

with the platinum-selling Good News for People Who Love Bad News, and they became genuine rock stars at a time when 

their musical peers remained cult figures. Modest Mouse were founded in 1993 by guitarist 

and vocalist Isaac Brock, bassist Eric Judy, and drummer Jeremiah Green

Modest Mouse's Epic debut, The Moon & Antarctica, finds them strangely subdued, focusing on mortality as well as the moody, acoustic side  of their music and downplaying the edgy rock that helped make them indie stars. Not that their first major-label release sounds like a sellout -- actually,  the slight sheen of Brian Deck's production enhances the album's introspective tone -- but occasionally The Moon & Antarctica's melancholy  becomes ponderous. Unfortunately, the album's middle stretch contains three such songs, "The Cold Part," "Alone Down There,"  and "The Stars Are Projectors," which tend to blur together into one 17-minute-long piece that bogs down the album's momentum.  Individually, each of these songs is sweeping and haunting in its own right, but grouping them together blunts their impact.  However, this trilogy does provide a sharp contrast to, as well as a bridge across, The Moon & Antarctica's more vibrant beginning and end...(AllMusic)
