Modest Mouse's Debut Album On 180g Vinyl Double LP!
This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About is the first full-length album by indie rock band Modest Mouse. The album was released on Up Records on April 16, 1996. This release is available on vinyl for the first time in over a decade.
Modest Mouse's 1996 debut album expands upon the themes of emotional and geographic isolation found in the band's early recordings, and finds the band mixing slow, brooding numbers with thrashing guitar workouts. The general mood here is one of loneliness and desperation, eloquently expressed through both the lyrics and the rhythmic, sprawling instrumentation. Modest Mouse made their first significant mark with songs whose meanings are simultaneously universal and painfully personal.
The band shows strong influences from the Pixies and Jane's Addiction, but they've also got their own personal style which is unlike anything I've heard before
