[ Modern Love ] If you had to ascribe one specific audio format to techno, it would undoubtedly be the vinyl 123. Techno has a special relationship with the 123; the traditional notion of an "album" just doesn't cut it when an artist wants to make a big statement. Enter the series - a related set of 123s where the typical techno aesthetic is maintained, but where an artist can explore an idea or a vibe over the course of [...]
"Still got this feeling, it's in my veins" Does anyone remember the rock/alternative band Dolly Daggers from Sweden? I was (and still am) obsessed with their single Never Ending around the time of this blog's creation, but unfortunately the group never released anything beyond an EP after that. Now they're back as The Modern Love and this is their first single. I'm not 100% sure about the verses, but that explosive chorus is absolutely undeniable. It's the kind of big, hooky rock music that I'd love to see more of in the [...]
Miles Whittaker, principalmente conosciuto per gli incredibili lavori, realizzati insieme a Sean Canty, a nome Demdike Stare (il poderoso Elemental è tuttora uno dei migliori dischi elettronici che possiate trovate in streaming nella relativa sezione di movimenta), ha pubblicato pochi giorni fa il suo primo album solista Faint Hearted su Modern Love:
As one half of Demdike Stare , Miles Whittaker already has an ear for jarring, rhythmic pulse. Venturing off for his newest side solo-venture, Whittaker has produced the earthly, bruising Faint Hearted LP, that's fairly apt to the name. The tracks range from crushing industrial drone to modern twinged German electro-house, with plenty of shaking personality split in between. Stream Whittaker's entire Faint Hearted below, but do yourself a favor and grab the LP via Modern Love as soon as you can.
To borrow a favourite phrase from a Silent Shout review, Demdike Stare have made a career pretty much set and intent on "scaring the abject shit out of you." That looks set to change - albeit temporarily - with a new release they've got out in the world now (via Modern Love Records), inventively titled Testpressing #001. The A-side, "Collide," is an 8 minute behemoth that doesn't so much frighten you as it does confuse, beguile, and perplex you. With heavy jungle drums rhythms and high frequency synth noises all over, Demdike Stare might not be [...]

"Collision" es el nombre del track que encabeza este primer material que Demdike Stare ha decidido publicar el día de hoy, en donde además se puede encontrar a manera de b-side otra brutalidad auditiva titulada "Misappropriation", así que si han estado degustando de [...]
Andy Stott, making music/magic BY JORDAN MAINZER Andy Stott's breakout has been about as slow-burning as his bass. After making electronic music steadily since 2005 and releasing two stellar EPs in 2011, Stott shifted from making heavy, loud, fast techno to 95 BPM bass music with the creeping, yet ethereal Luxury Problems , one of the best albums of 2012 . While the techno he used to make is perhaps more popular among festival-goers today, the subtler, uneasy music he makes now has garnered him much deserved critical acclaim from publications [...]
Pissed Jeans' Honeys BY JORDAN MAINZER Apparently they’ve been eating the yellow snow . Some of the best music of the past few months has expanded upon the wisecrack-heavy legacy of Tom Waits, Frank Zappa, Leonard Cohen, and The Modern Lovers. From lamenting about job prospects to apologizing for ogling women through punky, sarcastic humor, indie bands have lately avoided the self-righteousness that can occur when rockers explore "important" topics (in other words, these bands are even further from U2 in tone than in sound).

First, Brooklyn foursome Parquet Courts released the amazing Light Up Gold , an album FP’s Peter Lillis labeled “2012’s answer to 1976’s self-titled debut from The Modern Lovers.” Now, on the opposite coast, California duo Foxygen have followed up their 2012 debut Take the Kids Off Broadway [...]
Andy Stott – Luxury Problems (Modern Love, 2012).
Around the time of the release of Lubec 's brilliant EP Nothing Is Enough! we heralded the noise-pop act's music as "the definition of epic new dream pop." And while our excitement about the band is more fervent than ever, we think that assessment falls short in one respect: it doesn't convey that the Portland, Ore.-based quartet's music also communicates a charming, classic, early pop innocence. So, "epic" in scope and "new" in terms of, well, newness, yes. But the music is also rooted in and respectfully acknowledges a tradition encompassing Motown, The Modern [...]
[ Modern Love ] Luxury Problems is Andy Stott's third in a series of related double packs that began with Passed Me By in 2011. While the past two years have seen him fold gnarled voices and codeine-laced disco samples into his sludgy brand of "knackered house," the addition of honest-to-goodness singing shifts the focus of his music in [...]

No Fear of PopModern Love is a label synonymous with the North of England and Manchester, having heralded the likes of Andy Stott, Mark Stewert aka Claro Intelecto, Miles Whittaker and Sean Canty as Demdike Stare, as well as its association with the Manchester based store Boomkat . It is evidently clear that the city holds some sort of impalpable influence on the sound of the label – even though the music is not explicit to its locality. The label's latest release comes from Rainer Veil : formed of Liam Morley and Dan Valentine, who met [...]
