Isaac Brock (musician)

Isaac Kristofer Brock is the lead singer, guitarist, banjoist, and songwriter for the American indie rock band Modest Mouse, as well as his side project band, Ugly Casanova. As a songwriter he is noted for wordplay and frequent use of metaphors, philosophical lyrics, themes of oppressive rural lifestyles, and certain phrases and sayings commonly used in the early to mid20th century and in blue collar environments.

Brock was born in Helena, Montana. During his childhood, he lived with his mother and sister in Montana and Oregon in hippie communes and churches before moving to Issaquah, Washington when he wasyears old. Brock was homeschooled for part of his school career. When his mothers house flooded three times, she was forced to move into her future husbands trailer. Brock asked to stay behind in his own room until the new home was completed. He lived in the flooded home until the house was sold. After a short period of living in a friends basement, he moved into the Shed built on the land next to his mother and stepfathers trailer.
