LIST PICK

MODERNLOVE. ISLANDS

The latest track from modernlove. is the exceptionally catchy ‘Islands’. The band takes an almost minimalist-inspired guitar loop and allows it to wander through a menagerie of impressive pop textures while syllabically-dense vocal lines worm their way into your memory. The band describes their new single as “a classic coming of age story. Trying to cope with the fallout of a family coming apart due to divorce and one's own romantic relationship coming to an end at the same time. It tells the story of both, blurring them into one at times.” Give their new EP, Oh My Mind, a listen when it drops on July 29th, 2022 and catch their on tour in the UK in November. -Dan Peeke.
