For songwriter Isaac Brock, working to keep up with the ingenuity and creative musical landscapes Modest Mouse is known for is a tough task. Fighting periods of creative lapses, writer's block and the obligatory walls that keep artists separated from their creative muses has been a story as old as time. With renewed vigor and a Grammy nominated album, he's proven that he has what it takes to make the ever so sought after comeback. Including abrupt stops and playful lyrics, Modest Mouse teases its listeners, daring them to grow outside the general bounds of conventional music definition.

As indie-rock cornerstones for many years, 2004 has proved to be their breakthrough year. Modest success is the one way to describe their careers before Grammy nominated album Good News For People Who Love Bad News, with its hit single 'Float On'. Maintaining their whimsical approach to controversial subjects, Brock paints ugly topics beautifully, reveling in its irony.
