Building Nothing Out Of Something LP

Building Nothing Out of Something rounds up Modest Mouse's non-album singles, B-sides, and EP cuts from the mid-to-late '90s, produced by Calvin Johnson rather than assembled as a proper studio record. Pitchfork scored it an 8.9 and pointed to it as a good place to start with the band's catalog, and it catches Isaac Brock's songwriting in its rawest, most scattered early form. "Sleepwalking" even borrows its melody from the 1959 instrumental "Sleep Walk."
