Modest Mouse and Data Centers: Neowesterns and the Lonesome, Crowded West Virginia

If you’re an indie rock fan or have ever listened to a mainstream alt-rock station, you probably know about Modest Mouse’s 2004 radio hit Float On. Such a cheery, optimistic song! Surely, the rest of the band’s music is also like that.

The band’s second album, The Lonesome Crowded West, was released in 1997 and is best described as a manic depressive neo-western. The album is a good example of Modest  Mouse’s earlier, more abrasive sound while also having some chiller indie rock aspects mixed in. The “manic depressive” part of the description is pretty easy to see with just a few songs: Teeth Like God’s Shoeshine is a mad, chaotic opening to the album that immediately switches to the calmer Heart Cooks Brain. The album switches between rage, serenity, and depression even within songs.

The Crux Deluxe: A Review of Djo’s Most Recent Knockout

As Stranger Things reached its controversial end last month, many fans were left with the ache of times gone by. This may be directly linked to Joe Keery’s (under his musical alias, Djo) biggest hit, End of Beginning, topping the charts internationally. Djo has purposefully distanced himself musically from his on-screen persona as Steve “The Hair” Harrington (even using a disguise for the first few years of his career), but at this point, the cat’s out of the bag – End of Beginning has claimed over a month-long spot as #1 on the Global Spotify Chart, and new fans now know the man behind it.

What most do not realize, though, is that End of Beginning is nothing close to his magnum opus. In fact, it might be far from it. As an avid listener since his first album, Twenty Twenty, the song’s sudden rise in popularity led me to revisit Djo’s discography and rediscover the frankly powerful compilation of songs in 2025’s The Crux Deluxe.
