Modest Mouse “Sad Sappy Sucker” LP

Sad Sappy Sucker (Chokin’ on a Mouthful of Lost Thoughts) is the name of a 2001 album release by alternative rock band Modest Mouse. Originally slated to be Modest Mouse’s debut album, Sad Sappy Sucker was shelved for several years until it’s eventual release in 2001, on the heels of the popularity of The Moon & Antarctica. Several songs were recorded at Olympia, Washington’s Dub Narcotic Studios.
