Modern Studies - Welcome Strangers - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

New album from kosmiche folk-rock quartet Modern Studies. A glorious compendium of haunted disco hallelujahs, mercurial krautrock chorales, cosmic pop adagios and euphoric, resilient, anthems. 'The Weight of the Sun' sees principal songwriters Emily Scott and Rob St John further their warm, esoteric field studies with Pete Harvey and Joe Smillie, as previously reconnoitred on 'Swell To Great' (2016) and 'Welcome Strangers' (2018).InchThe exact point where Fairport Convention meet Jim O'Rourke at a remote Scottish railway station.Inch Tim BurgessInchMelancholic magic... recalls Johnny Marr's hazier reveries and the febrile, electrified folk of Polly Harvey's Let England Shake.Inch UNCUTNew album from InchSetting the standards for intelligent popInch Record CollectorThere is a strange familiarity, and a welcome strangeness, in the quiet alchemy of Modern Studies.Side A1.

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.
