Ok so everyone remembers Float On and how they all backed into a cop car that summer and everything was just great, right? If you don't you can't remember an awesome hook and probably don't even really like music because my face was fucked all summer by saturation.
Now, I have a lot of friends who really dug Good News for People Who Love Bad News who told me that all the new stuff they heard from Modest Mouse sucked.....well guess what? You suck!
Their newest single "Dashboard" is fucking great (so is the rest of the album but that's another blog.) I think one of the main reasons is that tasty guitar licking courtesy of the Smith's Johnny Marr who recently joined the band. His pinky work combined with lead vocalist Isaac Brock's amazing job at suttering, scratching, and belching his unique voice so it becomes part of the groove. All the breakdowns are sweet as candy and the staccato-ness (I know not a word.....yet) of the entire tune is really the killer for me because a dance song that's so stiff in it's individual parts but so fluid in it's entirety is the balls bro.
If any of your friends tell you this new album stinks, tell them they stink and punch them in the eye. Then go out and get the newest release from your boys Modest Mouse.
