Modern Woman - 'Ford'
Following the release of their debut EP, Modern Woman return with their new single 'Ford'. A triumphant hit that establishes them as one of the most exciting up and coming acts in the UK.
As the political landscape in Britain turned turbulent , so did the music coming out of the country. In recent years a distinctive brand of frenetic, discordant guitar music has become the prevailing sound of the alternative scene with bands such as Idles and Fontaines DC finding fame as their brooding music reflected the mood of the nation. Much like the 'Landfill Indie' goldrush of the late noughties, the 'Post-Punk' aesthetic has reach a saturation point in recent months, with many band's rejecting the label and distancing themselves from what some have referred to as a quickly deteriorating scene.
In spite of this, some bands are managing to find a way to stand out from the crowd and with their new single 'Ford', Modern Woman have provided another example of why they are quickly becoming one of the most exciting prospects within the British music scene. Following the release of their debut EP last year, the band have revitalised the 'Post-Punk' sound with their distinctive take on the genre. Think Black Country, New Road with Kate Bush vocals.
Their new single marks the band's best release to date with the poetics and vocal acrobatics of Sophie Harris matched by infectious grooves and basslines to create a raw, unflinching track that would be the envy of even the industry's biggest hitters. With 'Ford' Modern Woman have set the benchmark for the continued evolution of a complex genre and have shown that they sit at the vanguard of British music.
