The Best Room 4:24 15. Of Course We Know 5:22 Release Notes: -------- Modest MouseÆs 22-year career to date is something of a Cinderella story. Despite a frontman in throaty philosopher Isaac Brock who sounds like Tom Waits shouting into a wood-chipper; despite a consistently wonky sound that's evolved from awkward fuzzbox pop (2004Æs æGood News For People Who Love Bad NewsÆ) to sea-shanty concept albums about drowned sailors (2007Æs æWe Were Dead Before The Ship Even SankÆ); and despite the gloomy, fatalist streak to their lyrics, the Washington scrappers return from an eight-year break a weirdly mainstream concern. Their songs have been covered on American Idol. TheyÆre regular festival headliners in the US. And æWe Were DeadàÆ û featuring the writing talents of Johnny Marr, who's since left the band û was a number one hit on the US Billboard chart, selling over 500,000 copies in the US alone. New album æStrangers To OurselvesÆ seems determined to challenge that status, delivering some of their most brilliantly deranged moments yet. From grizzled, slap-bass disco freakouts (æThe Ground Walks, With Time In A BoxÆ) to campfire lullabies (æGod Is An Indian And YouÆre An AssholeÆ) it's an impressively unpredictable record that veers down wildly different paths, in ways no previous Modest Mouse album has dared. BrockÆs lyrics remain the same: dense thickets of imagery and introspection (ôAnother branch on the tinder-bound tree/Birds flying lower, lookinÆ downwards to feedö, he sings over tender acoustic guitar on æCoyotesÆ) but otherwise 'Strangers...' is an adventurous reinvention. Not all the risks come off. The curiously named æPistol (A Cunanan, Miami, FL. 1996)Æ is a twisted, ill-advised parody of Gwen Stefani chart hip-hop, which sees Brock booming ôWhy donÆt you come to my room and clean my pistol?ö But after two decades, what matters is that Modest Mouse are still taking those risks. æStrangersàÆ doesnÆt pack the emotional punch of their classic albums, but thereÆs something laudable about its genre-hopping loopiness. Their Cinderella story just got a surreal new chapter. This NFO File was rendered by NFOmation.net
