139. CITY CENTER "MODERN LOVE"


here's a feisty, reverb-laden indie/guitar pop track Modern Love, from Brooklyn-based noise pop/rock duo City Center {Fred Thomas & Ryan Howard of Saturday Looks Good to Me} off their new album "Redeemer" (2011).

Modern Love is a super-catchy, Broken Social Scene-esque, upbeat, fuzzed-out, guitar heavy, psych-tinged track, with some clever production/mixing, the simple yet effective use of stereo panning et reverb, all heighten the track, making for a delightfully psyched-out listening experience! enjoy!

i'm really digging the surreal cover art/photo, it's reminiscent of Giuseppe Arcimboldo's paintings. there is a real trend in adorning album covers with flowers of late {Craft Spells, Sea Oleena, Widowspeak, Korallreven, Lia Ices ...}.

definitely recommend getting yourself a copy of the "Redeemer" album, it is available from the always awesome Krecs on cd, mp3 or vinyl! otherwise you can grab it digitally from itunes.
