True Art Is Incomprehensible is now an in-universe trope as per TRS.


** A lot of their songs can count as this.
* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: Their most critically acclaimed album, ''The Moon & Antarctica'', is ''also'' probably their most [[MindScrew mindscrewy]]. Oddly enough, it's mostly because they balance on a precipice between "oblique" and "foggy as London". A common theme on all of their albums.

More or less covered under I Am The Band.


* FaceOfTheBand: Isaac Brock. Most interviews of Modest Mouse are just him, and given that the band has changed its lineup so much it's obvious he is the frontman.

* TrueArtIsAngsty: Their most critically acclaimed album, ''The Moon & Antarctica'', is probably their most cunningly stark and depressing one, helped in no part by the absence of vocals on many lengthy portions of song. In general, they are decidedly not a happy, fun band.
** Isaac's jaw was wired shut for some of the recording of the album, [[RealLifeWritesThePlot forcing the band to make the album largely instrumental.]]

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The line "I broke every bone in my goddamn jaw" from Might is pretty amusing seeing as Isaac Brock did just that three years after writing the song.
