Yet another edition of new music tuesday here at LSF. Today, is of course, the long awaited release of We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank by Modest Mouse. Our first full glimpse of the integration of Johnny Marr into the band! It's kind of peculiar - the band still retains their wacky, off kilter sound, mostly due to Issac Brock's distinctive guitar playing and wacky neck bends. But listen closely to the "rhythm" guitar. You'll notice that it's a lot more subtly complicated than usual. That's the work of Mr. Marr. Even on the love-it-or-hate-it single, "Dashboard" Johnny is tearing it up on the rhythm guitar. It sounds easy, but believe me, it's a lot more difficult to play.
I love the little guitar lick around 2:00 into "Invisible".

The new Patrick Wolf cd is available on import only for now, unfortunately. But here is another strong piece of evidence that he took a big dose of ecstacy before making this album...don't worry though, the rest of the album has its fair share of brooding!
