Modest Mouse put "Trucker's Atlas" on The Lonesome Crowded West, their second album, which Up Records released in November 1997. The writing is split among Isaac Brock, Jeremiah Green and Eric Judy, and Calvin Johnson produced, with Brock and engineer Scott Swayze co-producing.
The record around it is a restless, shape-shifting thing, lurching between dark, pummeling songs and quiet, brooding acoustic ones, with streaks of grunge and hip-hop, turntables on one track and fiddles and banjos on another. It has been described as having a "white trash" aesthetic, critics liked it, and it later turned up on several lists of the decade's best albums. The two towers on its cover are the Westin Seattle.
