The Fruit That Ate Itself

by Modest Mouse

The Fruit That Ate Itself cover art

Recorded immediately following their widely acclaimed debut album, this release embraces a distinctly rough, experimental edge guided heavily by the lo-fi ethos of K Records. The erratic tracks blend the band's signature angular guitar harmonics with bizarre tape manipulation and Isaac Brock's characteristically anxious, strained vocal performances. It remains a fascinating, deeply quirky artifact from the band's hyper-prolific early era in the Pacific Northwest.
