proudly unveils an important document detailing the early days of Modest
Mouse! Recorded in November 1994, Sad Sappy
Sucker is the lost Modest Mouse album, originally intended
to be the band's debut full-length. The 24 songs that comprise Sad
Sappy Sucker mark the earliest recordings of Modest Mouse as
a band, evolving from founder Isaac Brock's four-track solo project.
Due to unforeseen delays, Sad Sappy Sucker was shelved in favor
of The Lonesome Crowded West (Up Records, 1996). In addition to
the 12 songs recorded at Dub Narcotic Studio by Calvin
Johnson, Sad Sappy Sucker includes 9 previously unreleased
bonus tracks from the same era. |
