Modest Mouse

The first time our Ferg heard 'Float On' was in the background during Eddie's BBQ in Chino and he's been smitten with t'Mouse ever since! For the non-OC'ers amongst you, this is the pivotal moment where the angular janglers broke through to a mainstream eager for eccentric toe-tappers coursing in from the leftfield.

Released by Epic Records on April 6, 2004, 'Good News For People Who Love Bad News' offered a unique blend of existential lyricism and innovative soundscapes which helped Modest Mouse break out of the rock underground after more than a decade of existence. The album is hailed as an alternative classic on the strength of songs such as the Modern Rock chart-topping, 5-times platinum single “Float On,” the gold-certified “The World At Large” and “Ocean Breathes Salty.”
