Modest Mouse

In 'Talking Shit About a Pretty Sunset Live,' recorded on September 26, 2001, at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta, Modest Mouse was riding high on the success of their album 'The Moon & Antarctica,' which was released earlier that summer. This album marked a significant turning point for the band, as it gained them much wider recognition and showed a more nuanced sound than their previous work. The live performance features Isaac Brock’s signature raw vocals and introspective lyrics, capturing the band's eclectic energy. Fun fact: 'The Moon & Antarctica' was also their first album to be released on a major label, which stirred excitement and expectation among fans. This era solidified Modest Mouse’s place in indie rock, blending thoughtful songwriting with a bit of disarray, much like the ocean waves reflected in the evening sun.
