And there, on a diet of painkillers, in a neighborhood that wanted to purge the band from its borders, a creative alchemy took place that would redefine Modest Mouse and indie rock at large.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fact that the band finished the album at all is surprising. The fact that it is now considered by critics as “hands-down one of the greatest records ever made” (\u003ci\u003eNME\u003c\/i\u003e) is perhaps an utter miracle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Moon \u0026amp; Antarctica\u003c\/i\u003e is an album so strange and enigmatic, from those sweet opening notes, to the plunging depths of the middle, to the shocking, furious end, that you almost hesitate to listen to it again for fear of it losing its chaotic magic. But then you do, and you discover all-new sounds-a lost harmonic here, a stray percussion element there, a fresh interpretation of a lyric that leaves you thunderstruck.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd that ever-looming question, years on: \u003ci\u003eHow the hell did Modest Mouse pull this off?!\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-15\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore-toc\" id=\"undefined1\"\u003eBY WAY OF INTRODUCTION: FUCK YOU, COWBOY\u003cbr\u003eWELCOME TO ICE CREAM PARTY\u003cbr\u003eBUILDING NOTHING OUT OF SOMETHING\u003cbr\u003eTHE DEVIL'S APPRENTICE\u003cbr\u003eEMPTYING THE BOTTLE\u003cbr\u003eBLENDING BURGERS\u003cbr\u003eASIDE: \u003ci\u003eEVERYWHERE AND HIS NASTY PARLOUR TRICKS\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE MOON \u0026amp; ANTARCTICA\u003cbr\u003e“3rd Planet”\u003cbr\u003e“Gravity Rides Everything”\u003cbr\u003e“Dark Center of the Universe” \u003cbr\u003e“Perfect Disguise”\u003cbr\u003e“Tiny Cities Made of Ashes” \u003cbr\u003e“A Different City”\u003cbr\u003e“The Cold Part” \u003cbr\u003e“Alone Down There”\u003cbr\u003e“The Stars Are Projectors”\u003cbr\u003e“Wild Packs of Family Dogs”\u003cbr\u003e“Paper Thin Walls”\u003cbr\u003e“I Came as a Rat”\u003cbr\u003e“Lives”\u003cbr\u003e“Life Like Weeds”\u003cbr\u003e“What People Are Made Of”\u003cbr\u003eASIDE: JEREMIAH GREEN\u003cbr\u003eVI · XIII · MM\u003cbr\u003eAFTERMATH\u003cbr\u003eCODA\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAPPENDIX \u003cbr\u003eBIBLIOGRAPHY\u003cbr\u003eACKNOWLEDGEMENTS\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore-toc\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore-toc\"\u003ePublished: Nov 14 2024\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003eEdition: 1st\u003cbr\u003ePages: 168\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9798765106754\u003cbr\u003eImprint: Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 6 x 5 inches\u003cbr\u003eSeries: 33 1\/3\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55854642102594,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/6839\/4562\/files\/9798765106754.jpg?v=1786203986","url":"https:\/\/steadfastrecords.com\/en-ca\/products\/modest-mouse-s-the-moon-antarctica-33-1-3-series-zachary-petit-softcover-book","provider":"Steadfast Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
