Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally intended as Modest Mouse's debut album, this collection of songs was recorded between 1994 and 1995 but remained shelved for years. Its eventual release offers a raw, lo-fi portrait of the band's formative years, showcasing the anxious energy and quirky melodicism that would become their trademarks. Interspersed with rambling answering machine messages, the record serves as a crucial document of the band's origins.
