MODEST MOUSE-Good News For People Who Love Bad News
With the anticipation amongst fans raised to dizzying heights due to the four years since the release of their last full length album, Modest Mouse finally give the salivating unwashed masses a reason to get out of bed. After several lineup changes, founding drummer Jeremiah Green was replaced last year by Helio Sequence member Benjamin Wiekel while ex Murder City Devil slash early member of MM Dann Galucci has rejoined on second guitar, the mighty Mouse is once again in fine form on “Good News…”. If the lead off single “Float On” is any indication, frontman Isaac Brock is in full control of the new band and seems to have a more hopeful outlook with sentiments echoing Lou Reed’s Velvets-era refrain everythings gonna be “alright” despite it all. But with this new found hope there is still plenty of despair, suggested in track titles like “Dig Your Grave”, “Bury Me With It”, and the Flaming Lips/Dave Fridmann produced “The Good Times Are Killing Me”. Anyone who witnessed the last two MM Vancouver performances in 2003 will agree that Mr. Brock and company are better than ever in the live setting; “Good News…” is indeed good news for people who like Modest Mouse.
