about

Following two acclaimed single releases and Bobby Gillespie’s (Primal Scream) seal of approval, London’s Modern Guilt are pleased to announce the release of their first EP, ‘You’re Welcome’, on Friday 25 June 2021.

Hailed by tastemakers including John Kennedy (Radio X) and This Feeling as one of the ‘Best New Bands’, Modern Guilt are “breaking boundaries with their genre-defying sound” (The Other Side Reviews). Drawing inspiration from Garage Rock, Soul and Blues, Jaz (vocals/guitar), Andreas Podda (lead guitar), Scott Thomson (drums), Glyn Evans (keys/organs) and Dan Williams (bass) “are re-igniting and modernising their era and genre influences in a strong flame of colour” (Listen To Discover).

‘You’re Welcome’ showcases the band’s more obvious roots across five tracks in a refreshingly modern light, with additional nods to the likes of Psychedelia, Motown, Surf and early Hip-Hop. The tracks are anthemic, whilst subjectively dealing with love and mistakes. Lead singer Jaz notes his lyrics on the EP “are a coming to terms with who you are and how you’ve changed. It’s about pinpointing where we stand in our own lives when things start to shift.”

The EP has been crafted in collaboration with producer Mikey Buckley across multiple analogue studios, with artwork created by Edinburgh based Marinello Studio.

lyrics

A light breeze laid him out,
Bricks and bones without a doubt
Are made by different men,
Yeah they’re made by different men.

A cold wind cut right through
His three jackets made of blue
But he couldn’t tell you when,
No he couldn’t tell you when

All belt but no buckle,
When you box shadows, bruise your knuckles
All bells but no whistle,
When you box shadows bruise a little.

Hard rains washed him back
Up the street to the flat
Where he held his head
Where he held his head

Easy words cut the quick,
Light hearts never fit
With the stones that fill your bed
With the stones that fill your bed.

All belt but no buckle,
When you box shadows, bruise your knuckles
All bells but no whistle,
When you box shadows bruise a little.
