smash mouth

I wish every Modest Mouse album sounded like that one.

Built to spill

Really?

It was sarcasm

>Unwound (specifically Leaves Turn Inside You)
just off the top of my head.

Honestly, it depends on why you like them. If you like them for more brash stuff say tundra/desert or breakthrough ect.. I would recommend lync and other post hardcore bands out of Seattle. But if you are into their poppier stuff, you might like beat happening or built to spill. Also check out pavement, XTC, tom waits, and talking heads

no u

Whats the story on how they chose their band name? If anything I just avoided listening to them because of the bands name.

The Drones two most recent albums

The band's name is derived from a passage from the Virginia Woolf story "The Mark on the Wall," which reads, "I wish I could hit upon a pleasant track of thought, a track indirectly reflecting credit upon myself, for those are the pleasantest thoughts, and very frequent even in the minds of modest mouse-coloured people ...

Pavements first three albums give me an early modest mouse vibe.

If you can live with female vocals, this

Lync
764 hero
Unwound
Try to also look for any old band of the Olympia scene from the era

Built to Spill is thr only one I know but they're super damn close

haven't listened to them yet but I read that LVL UP sounds a bit like slow MM or something

Franz Ferdinand is a Modest Mouse 2.0
Not even kidding

You might like Pinback op.

Check out fortress, penelope, and good to sea as a start

+1 to this, pinback has the same gloomy vibe to them as modest mouse but a little more mellow.

This
Built to Spill don't have that much post-hardcore influence though.

Post-hardcore is your best bet if you liked the raw albums like this.

Also make sure to check out Building Nothing Out of Something and that Japanese-only Night on the Sun (my favorite EP from them.)

alex g is a new artist that has a pretty blatant MM influence

might be a weird pick but a lot of the instrumentation on the glow pt 2 sounds modest mouseish

How is Leaves similar?

built to spill

i like them more as well. better melodies and more atmospheric instrumentation. some classic riffs as well
