Modest Mouse – No One’s First and You’re Next
There’s nothing that I love more than discovering unreleased tracks and B-sides by one of my favourite bands. This is the case with the most recent release by Modest Mouse, cleverly titled “No One’s First and You’re Next”. Composed of previously unreleased tracks from their past two studio releases, “Good News for People Who Love Bad News” and “We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank”, this EP is more accessible and dare I say it, mainstream, than the band’s previous releases. However, in no way is this a bad thing, but rather is simply a sign of Modest Mouse becoming more comfortable with their success. Thus, fans can expect a less experimental and bold sound from “No One’s First”, yet still an intriguing listen. Translation: by no means is this EP boring. However, it does leave us wondering when we can expect a new album. For now, the boys of Modest Mouse seem happy to just “float on”.
