Modest Mouse
The Lonesome Crowded West
Up
Everything hurts. Just ask Modest Mouse -- the most anguished-sounding band I've heard. Perhaps it's the jagged chording. Or the harmonies that sound strong from years of carrying weight. It could be desperately focused playing, or maybe you're just listening to the lyrics. Modest Mouse is just one of those bands that fits the bill perfectly when you're looking for someone more down than you. Up Records, P.O. Box 21328, Seattle, WA 98111-3328
