"Perpetual Motion Machine" is about fish who wish they could walk so they could find out how it feels to fall down, and "Whale Song" bemoans Brock's metaphorical uselessness as it demonstrates his capacity for beauty.
-
So while it doesn't exactly have the cohesive through-line of Modest Mouse's epic full-lengths, No One's First still captures solid energy from a band riding a long-ass peak.
-
'The Whale Song' may offer a solitary crumb for old skool Micers to nibble, but unfortunately this EP will not offer much else.
