Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse later recorded his songs in hopes that Graham would resurface in the music scene.
[2] Two pieces of evidence exist that suggest that the story was fiction: Modest Mouse's 1997 EP The Fruit That Ate Itself was credited to having been under the production company Ugly Casanova, which suggested it was a name Brock made up to retain creative control and publishing rights to his music while under a major label.
Ugly Casanova mixes indie rock with hints of country and folk, ranging from acoustic ballads ("Hotcha Girls") to more bizarre with piercing vocals ("Diamonds on the Face of Evil").
[1] Two tracks released by Ugly Casanova, "Baby's Clean Conscience" and "Parasites", appear earlier as unreleased demos of Modest Mouse in the Paracite Sessions purportedly recorded in 1993 at Calvin Johnson's Dub Narcotic Studio.
The soundtrack featured eight new Ugly Casanova songs as well as a redone version of "Hotcha Girls" from Sharpen Your Teeth.
