		Ugly Casanova) existed was in the summer of 1998, when he impressed himself upon the members of Modest Mouse while backstage at a Denver show.
		Casanova began to share some rough songs with the trio and, after much prodding, with a few sparse crowds that milled about hours before the opening band was scheduled to appear.
		While Casanova's talent was unmistakable, by the time he finished each impromptu performance, his face held a look of shame and anger that more often than not, foreshadowed a retreat into himself.

	InternetEd Reviews: Ugly Casanova- Sharpen Your Teeth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Ugly Casanova is a side project of Modest Mouse singer/songwriter Isaac Brock.
		To sum it up, Ugly Casanova has much in common with Modest Mouse (not surprisingly) and is basically a quirky indie record full of offbeat rhythms and sparse 'artsy' musical arrangements.
		Ugly Casanova's strange, intentionally off-time singing works surprisingly well in "Cat Faces," while the unconventional rhythms of "Ice On The Sheets" are both humorous and avant-garde.

	Ugly Casanova: Sharpen Your Teeth: oto review
		Ugly Casanova is a side project for Isaac Brock, lead singer/songwriter of Modest Mouse.
		Even though Casanova performs on the record, as well as takes credit for the songs, he shares vocal duties with guest musicians on the majority of tracks.
		Though Brock claims Ugly Casanova’s songs inspired Mouse’s The Moon and Antarctica, the songs on Sharpen are different enough to mostly dispel any notions that Graham might be a fictional alter ego of Brock.

	Ink 19 :: Ugly Casanova
		Ugly Casanova is made up of Isaac Brock from Modest Mouse along with members of Red Red Meat and Black Heart Procession, and like many side projects, it sounds pretty much like the bands that birthed it.
		The instrumentation is of the "kitchen sink" variety, meaning a banjo rubs elbows with a "singing saw" or backwards guitar.
		All of Brock's music is somewhat unsettling, and Ugly Casanova perhaps more so, maybe because it's a bit "spacey" as compared to previous work.

		The first time any one seemed to care that Edgar Graham existed was in the summer of 1998, when he impressed himself upon the members of Modest Mouse, while backstage at a Denver show.
		Over the weeks Casanova began to share some rough songs with the trio and, after much prodding, with a few sparse crowds that milled about hours before the opening band was scheduled to appear.
		Then in November of last year, a faded and water-damaged bundle was discovered among a stack of old packages during one of those general decontamination purges that so often follows a mail scare.

	Ugly Casanova: Sharpen Your Teeth (2002): Reviews
		Ugly Casanova is the alter ego of Modest Mouse singer/guitarist Isaac Brock, who makes his solo debut with this release.
		The same studio experimentation that makes much of Ugly Casanova's music interesting also results in a handful of throwaway tracks enough to prevent Sharpen Your Teeth from becoming a wholly cohesive album.
		For the Modest Mouse fan, Ugly Casinova is a fresh feeling pop experience that can only enhance your love of Modest Mouse.

	Amazon.com: Sharpen Your Teeth: Music: Ugly Casanova (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		As much as I think that Modest Mouse is one of the few bands to be creating fresh music in an industry that holds up vanilla pop like "The Strokes" as something to write home about, I think their albums tend to have a few throwaways, usually the songs that quickly lead to loud thrashing.
		But Ugly Casanova plays like Modest Mouse fused with Tom Waits' "Mule Variations." It more than once goes for the "Big in Japan" chain-slapping beat (which itself was redoing the classic "Clap Hands").
		Two tracks released by Ugly Casanova, "Baby's Clean Conscience" and "Parasites", appear earlier as unrealeased demos of Modest Mouse in the Paracite Sessions purportedly recorded in 1993 at Calvin Johnson's Dub Narcotic Studio.

	Ugly Casanova - Sharpen Your Teeth (Subpop)
		While his Ugly Casanova moniker has been previously reserved for the odd compilation appearance or single, Sharpen Your Teeth finds Brock exploring new territory under the premise of recording songs that were submitted to him by a person(a?) named Edgar Graham (full details can be found on the band's page at Subpop).
		Regardless of his intent or inspiration, Brock has crafted a cohesive album that rivals the last Modest Mouse record in terms of quality and sheer amazement.
		Ugly Casanova is a definite departure from Brock's work with Modest Mouse, as Brock charts a new course in instrumentation.

	Ugly Casanova - Free Music Downloads - MP3 Downloads - Download.com Music
		Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock knows how to deliver head scratchers of both the lyrical and musical sort, and with his side project Ugly Casanova he ventures even further into abstract territory.
		With a cast of cohorts he digs up a stripped-down, redneck-psychedelic sound that is both odd and engaging.
		He displayed a gentle, if not slightly unnerving, mental instability that endeared them to him and caused them to adopt him in a way only possible of a band with a long tour ahead of them.

	Ugly Casanova, Junk Rock - Beastie Boys Message Board
		I don't know if the story about their origin is true or not, what with a mysterious, crazy, angry, insane genius disappearing into thin air; but that's neither here nor there because the Ugly Casanova album is one of the best I've heard in a long time.
		While Modest Mouse is typically pretty and melodic, Ugly Casanova has a rough, junky, sloppy sound.
		Every single one of the songs on the Ugly Casanova album is worth listening to.

		Now Modest Mouse frontman, Isaac Brock, returns to his indie label roots for a side project under his alias Ugly Casanova.
		In short, it lacks a lot of the elements that made Modest Mouse such a great band while not being enough of a departure to justify it.
		Most of the criticism here is comparing Ugly Casanova to Modest Mouse, and maybe that isn't fair.

	In Music We Trust - Ugly Casanova: Sharpen Your Teeth
		"Barnacles", the album opener, is Ugly Casanova's interpretation of singer-songwriter, a man with a guitar leading the pack, slight, but ever-present instrumentation pushing the song to the max, adding an edge and an experimental rock touch, while adhering to the hushed, introspective mindset the words singer-songwriter ring.
		"Spilled Milk Factory" finds Ugly Casanova with the lo-fi blues; an airy, rock song ran through an old blues record or two, recorded with less-is-more on the brain.
		Continuing with the blues, "Diamonds on the Face of Evil" has the stomp and grit of an old blues tune, the heartbeat of a man wanting to play it loud and proud, and the fragility of someone addressing you one-on-one.
