Built to Spill is close-ish if you like MM's softer songs.
Kevin Morris
is it weird i hear a subtle Trout Mask Replica influence on Long Drive and LCW
William Edwards
Time to grow out of Modest Mouse, friend.
Levi Peterson
what?
Logan Scott
I still haven't found anything that hits me in the same way Modest Mouse does. Pixies, Built to Spill, and Pavement are all often mentioned in the same breath though.
I'm eager to hear some recommendations other than the typical responses though. I could really use something to fill the gap.

if you haven't listened to all of MM's more rare early shit (sad sappy sucker, building nothing out of something, interstate 8, etc.), you should get on that, you're missing out on some of their best shit. also isaac brock's side project ugly casanova is p good. other than that, built to spill was mentioned earlier and they're great, can't really think of anything else.

Archer Of Loaf - Icky Mettle 94%
metacritic.com
& Vee Vee 86%

No one knows or cares about the Loaf today, personally I think Vee Vee is way better than Icky Mettle, but whatever...
Isaac Jackson
Oh yeah I should have mentioned Ugly Casanova. Sharpen Your Teeth is good shit. For MM's other stuff, Everywhere and His etc.., Building Nothing, and Baron von Bullshit are all musts. Interstate 8 is good for Edit the Sad Parts but that's it. Pretty much everything else is on Building Nothing Out of Something
Samuel Cook
For whatever reason this one Blood Brothers song always reminded me of Modest Mouse? the rest of their shit doesn't sound like MM at all tho. v underrated band desu u should listen to them anyway. youtube.com
David Bell
i used to trade tapes with a guy at work and he gave me white trash heroes. i really want to investigate more but i don't. ill try those.
Kevin Wright
you're the worst kind of music listener
Michael Hughes
It kinda sounds like newer MM mixed with some shitty metal band. Not really what OP was asking for.
Brody Sullivan
I got them recced to me because I love Pavement. Didnt like that song that much, something about the singing and the song reminded me of shit like Foo Fighters or something. Feel I need to listen more though, care to tell me about them and their sound?
Jayden Rogers
Anyone know where I should start with Built to Spill?
Samuel Hill
Right here. It's arguably their best release and the guitar tone is unmatched.
Move on to Keep it Like a Secret if you want shorter crunchy pop songs, or go to Nothing Wrong With Love if you want a softer and more sincere record. Always gotta start with Perfect From Now On though.
Joshua Sullivan
I didn't start with Perfect From Now On and I haven't fallen in love with it like I have the one before and after it, but it's good.
Keep It Like A Secret is the most polished and realized BTS in my opinion
or if you like it real raw then go with There's Nothing Wrong With Love.
here's examples from each:

I love Vee Vee so much. Lyrically it encapsulates life of a 90s barhopping indierock townie perfectly. It sounds like the album was written and recorded while everyone was drunk and stoned.
Nothing at all like Foo Fighters. You were recommended them because they sound like a punk version of Pavement. Lyrics are less word saladly/cut n paste. More like a nihilistic/absurdist version of Fugazi.
These aren't the 2 best songs on the album, I just chose them to show you how far removed they are from Foo Fighters.
Aaron Ross
The song White Trash Heroes is the only great song on the White Trash Heroes album.
Icky Mettle and Vee Vee are way better.
Brandon Ward
it's time bud
Brody Butler
Okay thanks, that sounds really good actually
Jayden Kelly
I don't see the similarity but listen to this anyway, senpai
Gavin Taylor
how come every modest mouse album cover is so fucking SHIT
Mason Wright
Alright, thanks guys
Cameron Moore
Some of Archers of Loaf's best material is on an EP they recorded just after Icky Mettle:
Josiah Wilson
this is the correct take on Built to Spill
Colton Brooks
this
and pic related for the mellower stuff
Julian Jenkins
You'd probably like Brand New's third album.
Easton Davis
I always found Contemporary Movement to be the more MM-esque Duster album.
Eiafuawn - Birds In The Ground reminds of Modest Mouse's early stuff at times.
