The Moon and Antarctica: Cosmic Indie

Last week was Myth and History; this week is the Cosmos. The Moon and Antarctica, an album near and dear to Matt’s heart, tries to speak (with) God with layers of guitar in a Cosmos entirely of Modest Mouse’s design. Built to Spill, MM’s Pacific Northwest counterparts, and Hum, of Shoegaze Decile fame, have similarly searching and vast 90s albums in Perfect From Now On and You’d Prefer and Astronaut, respectively. One is more metaphysical and the other more astrological, both, however, investigate the stars of the universe.
