Modest Mouse

New Modest Mouse B-Side.
Stream only.
6+ minutes long.
Takes about 3 minutes before the singing starts.
Then only lasts for under 2 minutes.
Craziness. Jumbled, overlapping lyrics.
Not my cup of tea.

The Manchester Orchestra may wear their influences (including Modest Mouse) on their sleeves, but to me... they are way more listenable than this song.

  1. Write up says this has been a 'live staple' and I can see how it would be good live. I also see how why it's a b-side. I love the mega praise in the comments, lol. I will say it's appropriately name b/c the guitar sounds like two whales f'n.
