“Gravity Rides Everything” by Modest Mouse

"Gravity Rides Everything" sits on The Moon & Antarctica, the third Modest Mouse album and their first for a major label, released by Epic on June 13, 2000. Isaac Brock, Eric Judy and Jeremiah Green wrote it together, with Brock supplying the words, and the same three play it: Brock singing and on guitar, Judy on bass, Green on drums.

Brian Deck produced and mixed it, with Greg Ratajczak assisting. Deck and Brock first met when they shared a bill at the Magic Stick in Detroit and, by Deck's account, put away a fair amount of beer, then reconnected years later when Brock took Califone, stocked with members of Deck's Red Red Meat, on the road as Modest Mouse's opening act. Critics credited Deck and the Epic budget with widening the band's sound, and praised Brock's inward-looking lyrics.
