Sad Sappy Sucker

Modest Mouse

Twenty-four tracks of jittery, tape-hissing indie rock sketches. A raw, unpolished time capsule of the band's formative Pacific Northwest basement sound.

April 24, 2001 · Glacial Pace

Find on Amazon

A nervous, rainy-day collection of sketches that feels both lonely and strangely comforting.
