Our Take

Modest Mouse have always been a band that elicits strong reactions from listeners. With their latest release, "The Fruit That Ate Itself," the band continues to push boundaries and challenge expectations. The album kicks off with the frenetic energy of "The Waydown," a track that showcases lead singer Isaac Brock's distinctive yelps and wails. The band's signature blend of indie rock and experimental sounds is on full display here, with the track building to a chaotic crescendo that leaves you breathless. Throughout the album, Modest Mouse expertly blends catchy hooks with intricate instrumentation, creating a sonic landscape that is both familiar and surprising. Tracks like "Dirty Fingernails" and "Sunspots in the House of the Late Scapegoat" showcase the band's ability to craft songs that are both infectious and thought-provoking. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "The Fruit That Ate Itself." The band explores darker themes, such as loss and disillusionment, on tracks like "I Came as a Rat." These moments of introspection add depth and emotional resonance to the album, proving that Modest Mouse is capable of more than just catchy melodies. In the end, "The Fruit That Ate Itself" is a testament to Modest Mouse's continued evolution as a band. With this release, they prove once again that they are unafraid to take risks and challenge themselves creatively. Love them or hate them, Modest Mouse are here to stay. And we wouldn't have it any other way. Cheers!
