The Moon & Antarctica

by Modest Mouse

supported by

mbx220 One of the best albums ever made - my personal favorite MM album and one of my favorite albums of all time. It's so good. This album was with me through my formative years and is still relevant to me today. I will revisit it at least once a year if not more - finally bought it, and will hunt down a vinyl.

Also, this reissue sounds leagues better than the original that's on Spotify. Sounds more complete to me, I love it - this is the version I rocked on my iPod - albeit all out of order. Favorite track: Perfect Disguise.

bigmeph this album gave me an existential crisis that was responsible for me looking at myself and changing my life for what i feel was the better Favorite track: Life Like Weeds.

anthropod This is a deep album and my intro to this brilliant band. Saw them a handful of times in recent years, each show unique and memorable. Favorite track: Dark Center Of The Universe.

there's few albums that have such a great, charming and cool vibe, so dark and muffled whilst sounding so bright. it's oscillating between orchestral-like pieces and bedroom pop, and it just works. this is going in the reference music playlist Unit's Daydream

I think this is one of the most beautiful albums ever created. It pierces the soul and I feel renewed after every listen. Thank you Big Thief and Adrianne Lenker for one of the greatest works of songwriting and composition I've ever encountered! birdpatch
