Modest Mouse

       Modest Mouse is an indie rock band from Issaquah, Washington and was formed in 1993. The members include Isaac Brock, Jeremiah Green, Tom Pelosi, Russell Higbee, Jim Fairchild, Lisa Molinaro, and Davey Brozowski. Past members include Eric Judy, Robin Peringer, John Wickhart, Dan Gallucci, Benjamin Weikel, Johnny Marr, and Joe Plummer.
       Modest Mouse's lead singer, Isaac Brock, has a mad tone when he sings but the mostly happy, full music gives it a balance.
       Modest Mouse released their first studio album, "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank," in 2007. One of my favorite songs from this album would have to be "Florida" because the song has nice backing vocals unlike many of the other songs on this album. This song has a couple parts to it, some of it is happy while other parts are complete chaos.  It is a song that you wouldn't really dance to but nod your head or tap your foot to. I also like the song "Parting of the Sensory" because the beginning of the song is a little more dialed down compared to the rest of the album, but it builds up to sound more mad than sad. I also like how they used violin in this song with the lighter sound of the guitar. I like most of this album because each and every song has many different "scenes" to it.
      The album "Good News for the People Who Love Bad News" was released by Modest Mouse in the year 2004. My favorite by Modest Mouse, "Float On" is on this album. I love the guitar in this song and it is nice that the music is the same volume as Brock's singing. This song was band's first number one which was on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and it débuted on the Billboard's Hot 100 chart at number 70. It may sound weird, but the first time I had heard this song was when I was probably 9 or 10 years old playing "Guitar Hero" and the song instantly became one of my favorites and it still is.
        Modest Mouse has many more great album like "This is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About," "The Lonesome Crowded West," "The Moon & Antarctica," and "Strangers to Ourselves" is scheduled to be released on March 17th, 2015.
