Album Review
The story behind Sharpen Your Teeth is odd yet plausible: a mentally unstable character named Edgar Graham (calling himself Ugly Casanova) met up with Modest Mouse, followed them around on tour, recorded some songs, gave the recordings to labels, and then mysteriously disappeared. Songs on tapes discovered by Sub Pop were later recorded by Issac Brock of Modest Mouse in hopes that Graham would resurface. The first solo record from the singer/guitarist, Sharpen Your Teeth, cuts into raw indie rock with spells of country and folk, while allowing Brock to explore a varying scope of sounds. He gets help from Brian Deck (whose production credits include Tortoise and the Sea and Cake), Tim Rutili of Red Red Meat, and Pall Jenkins of the Black Heart Procession. Ranging from heartfelt acoustic numbers ("Cat Faces") to outright bizarreness with grating vocals ("Diamonds on the Face of Evil"), there's no doubt that the mood sometimes coincides with the enigmatic Graham.
Customer Reviews
If you do not find this album entertaining, I have one question:
Are you dead or are you sleeping?
UNBELIEVEABLE
this album is one of the only albums in my collection that gives me shivers down my spine. Everytime I listen to it i find new things, new amazing thing that make this album one of the greatest albums of the decade so far. This album continues to amaze me over and over again. Upon hearing Issac Brock auctually sing a melody, you feel elated. No other album means so much to me, the mind-bending lyrics, and the amazing monotone melodys. Over all this album should get five stars. Key Tracks " Hotcha Girls" "Barnacles" "Cat Face"
Some of the most beautiful lyrics ever
If you're a big MM fan you must purchase this album. It's definitely not as accesible as most of their stuff, but the lyrics are absolutely amazing. I have never heard so much raw feeling in Isaac's voice. The sound is very slow and melodic- definitely a departure for the band, but much appreciated.
