This hardcover book sequentially follows the band from their very first tour, charting their steady rise from humble beginnings, small shows, and constantly broken down vans, up to their latter days as festival headlining staples.Pat has a clear eye for striking compositions, and you can see in his photos how traversing the American landscape must have served as an inspiration and muse, just as you can hear it in Isaac's lyrics and find it in the band's music. In fact, the travel and distance in between the shows is really the thematic center of the book, with artfully arranged landscapes, anecdotes, live performances, and candid shots of the band sprawling over the welcomingly numerous pages. As a close friend, Pat's shots achieve an honesty and intimate familiarity with the band, something that Isaac speaks to in the forward, and the personal words from both Pat and the band are a really nice addition--Johnny Marr's quotation on the back of the book is simply tremendous.For me, this book brings back some of the best memories of my own roadtrips with friends and loved ones to see the band play over the years, as we watched them evolve over a decade from a 3-piece just before The Moon & Antarctica, into the expanded presentation the band evinces to this day (we miss you Eric Judy).I would highly recommend this book to any fan as the definitive visual accompaniment to (in my opinion) one of the greatest rock bands of all time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Pat Graham chronicles the birth and emergence of a band that defined a generation *by F***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 24, 2014* This book is an awesome trip back through the early days of MM up to the Johnny Marr days. The pictures are ordered by year. I love flipping through these pages and finding shots of the band in various venues, especially the small 'harder edge' venues.Through Pat's photographic lens, we can glimpse empty landscapes with twisty bits of things blowing through as in a window of a train. Strip malls and parking lots, monuments and steeples, empty fields and dark forests scroll by in a purgatorial loop. The urban paranoia of post-punk seeps into wide-open rural, looming industrial and encroaching suburban vistas, all alike in their sinister, hypnotic repetition.It's clear that Pat Graham has an undeniable artistry to his shots. Depicted photos range from gritty 'pre-early' MM playing in a local park band-shell to a small gathering of beer drinking, bike riding, skate boarding types (aka 'my peeps'), to the larger venues of MM's more mainstream popularity.For myself, I'm intensely attracted to the old photos - the one of Isaac laying down a jam with a pair of vice grips stuck to his fret board is a highlight. Outside of all the band pics are plenty of awesome shots of the guys traveling through incredible, blissfully rough and empty scenery, including many (many!) shots of the snow blown wastelands that make up the spaces between populations in our lonesome crowded west.After reading through the stories from the road and all the issues (and subsequent pictures) around their broke-down transportation, I was left feeling even more in touch with the band that defined my generation of lonesome, isolationist, mall-fucked, post punk, nobody nothing fuck-ups (thanks Dug!) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the 16 month wait! *by Z***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 12, 2014* I pre-ordered mine when it was first announced ages ago. Received it this morning and sat down with it right away. It took me from Dramamine to Tundra/Desert (Tracks 1-11 on their debut LP) to finish and I'll be sharing it with my girlfriend when we have a chance.It's much thicker than I'd imagined (that's what she said, hur). Pat Graham's photography is wonderfully arranged and a delight to explore. The small anecdotes, stories, and quotes are well-placed and very interesting. Pat's artistic vision shines through with gusto and, as Isaac is quoted in the Introduction, it was their "dumb luck that he is such a great photographer".As a younger fan, I've always been supremely disappointed that I wasn't able to experience their early shows, but this book, I feel, adequately captures that tone (though the book does encompass the Johnny Marr era as well). If you don't have one already, I'd highly recommend it to any fan of the band. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/6593692-modest-mouse-hardcover-september-17-2014](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/6593692-modest-mouse-hardcover-september-17-2014) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
