To start the week off, I'm headed back to my hometown...Miami. It always amazes me that it wasn't until after I left the Magic City in 1999 that things started to get exciting. I think it's probably because of Virgin filling the HUGE gap left by the many indie stores that were around in the early 90's (Y&T (I worked there), Open, Blue Note). Whatever the reason, it's just cool that there's a scene down there now that has taken on a life of its own.
Anyway, Modernage are continuing to get mileage out of their September released Sirhan Sirhan EP. With this third release, Modernage have taken various musical elements from their inspirations and artfully fused them together to create an ageless 5-track EP that has the gloom-rock atmospherics of White Lies, the driving bass of Snowden, the clever lyrical lamentation of the National, and occasional crooning and danceability that is reminiscent of Joy Division. The construct of such ingredients glistens, making it difficult for listeners to overlook. Modernage is all about maximizing this exposure through the gamut of styles they're influenced by and after listening to "Creatures," you'll probably agree that moodiness never sounded so good.
