Satellite Skin’s got this country feel – but not really. It sounds like a desert plain and a wide sky, and it sounds like Modest Mouse too – but unlike most Modest Mouse songs, it doesn’t sound pissed off. It lacks the sheer punch of jams like “Dashboard” or “Ocean Breathes Salty,” maybe just because it is less angry. The twangy guitar and delicate piano make me think sunset out west, but Isaac Brock’s snarl and Johnny Marr’s solos make me think late-night back east. Give “Satillite Skin” a listen.

Remember before when I thought it was just mediocre?
I think the studio version moves from 50 bulbs to 65 or so…very good.

it isn’t mine but i sure tumbled in love with it
I think the songs good, but I’m biased. There’s not much that Isaac Brock can do wrong. I wish they released more stuff…
