Item Description

Sensitive, smart, inventive, cultured, brimming with complex ideas Record Collector There s a charm within Modern Studies DNA which makes them, without fanfare or clamour, one of today s most mesmerising outfits. Prog Magazine Through the hazy daze of a smoky folk opus, Modern Studies craft rich soundtracks, stuttering Super-8 sketches from a washed-out world of melancholy, hand-tinted and tantalising. Lullaby couplets blossom into gorgeous chamber pop melodies, the drama unfolding behind Emily Scott s plaintive vocal; part Julie London, part Sandy Denny, a little bit Kate Bush, with a hushed sigh of Joni. Sweeping strings carry them into unchartered terrain on their new album We Are Here , flying high above their psych-folk roots, it s an epic journey that s exquisitely delivered, transcending categories, nodding to Brubeck, Low, Talk Talk, Jim O Rourke and Pentangle, making music that is ready to cross over in these modern times with songs of substance.
