If we're talking weird country, Murder by Death, O' Death, and The Builders & The Butchers all qualify.

I'm gonna re-recommend Pavement, especially circa Brighten The Corners.
Angular, ironic, occasionally unlistenable, and genre-defining American indie band.

While they don't sound like Modest Mouse much, these are all good bands.
You might wanna check out Listener and Shovels & Rope, too.

Pygmy Lush. Maybe the Bitter River album if you're looking for a weird Lonesome Crowded-like experience, but everything they did is good.

I love Pygmy Lush and Murder By Death is a band I've been meaning to check out for sure. Tons of stuff to listen to in this thread.

They're very far from sounding like Modest Mouse, but they make some really good stuff indeed!

Oh man, the beginning of "Diamonds on the Face of Evil" by Ugly Casanova was definitely used in a movie I know but I can't think of which movie... something artsy...
