Modern Skirts

Artist- Modern Skirts
Album- Gramahawk
Label- self-r


Athens, GA four-piece’s third album of melodic alterna-pop. Love it. Melodies of the Beach Boys via the post-modern weariness of Spoon. The vocals on “Under Bridges & Overpasses” are almost hypnotic in their rhythmic talk-y delivery with overtracked sung melodies. The final track, “To Be a Branch Davidian”, is delightful and spacey with the right touch of melancholy. This album is varied in styles (mostly held together by the vocal stylings) but this is still absolutely pleasant indie pop.
