Sensitive, smart, inventive, cultured, brimming with complex ideas Record CollectorInchThere's a charm within Modern Studies' DNA which makes them, without fanfare or clamour, one of today's most mesmerising outfits.Inch Prog MagazineThrough 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.Side AA1 Sink IntoA2 Light a FireA3 Comfort MeA4 Two SwimmersA5 Wild OceanSide BB1 Open FaceB2 Won't Be LongB3 MothlightB4 Do You WannaB5 Winter Springs Album Tracks 1.
