We Are There [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Sensitive, smart, inventive, cultured, brimming with complex ideas Record Collector

Theres a charm within Modern Studies DNA which makes them, without fanfare or clamour, one of todays 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 Scotts 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, its an epic journey thats exquisitely delivered, transcending categories, nodding to Brubeck, Low, Talk Talk, Jim ORourke and Pentangle, making music that is ready to cross over in these modern times with songs of substance.
