In the wake of their incredible run of form with the sensational singles 'Don't Wanna', 'Us', 'Follow You' and most recently 'Islands', which have since found support from countless tastemakers including Wonderland, Hot Press, Official Charts, Under The Radar, Ones To Watch, A&R Worldwide's Passport Approved, Rolling Stone India and many more, Irish indie-pop-rockers modernlove. continue the support for their eagerly-awaited new EP 'Oh My Mind', which arrives on July 29th through Akira Records (Phoria, Henry Green, Mt. Wolf, Rosie Carney, Shura), with the vibrant new effort 'familiar'.

Continuing the same rich and glossy texture of their output over the last few months, 'familiar' looks to cement the group as one of the more heartfelt and passionate outfits working right now. Their newest release brings back more of that warm and alluring aesthetic they have cultivated for themselves, brimming with bright and tender moments throughout.

Speaking about the new single, they said, "familiar is a song about seeing an ex for the first time after breaking up. It's about seeing them from across a bar with somebody else, having moved on with their life and the feelings that moment can evoke. It also explores the idea that we long for something familiar and comforting when we’re not in a very good place in our lives and that an ex can provide a temporary, albeit unhealthy, escape from that loneliness and anxiety. We wanted to reflect that emotional depth in the sonics as well, this is the closest we've come to R'n'B chords on the keys for example. But also not lose that modernlove bounce, it's a pop song at heart."

modernlove. will also be embarking on their first UK and Ireland tour in November later this year. Demand for these shows has been so overwhelming, the band have added a new date at London's Camden Assembly on the 8th November, with their Manchester performance now upgraded to YES! (Basement). 

'Oh My Mind' follows on from their debut EP 'monochrome blue', which was released in September 2021, and saw modernlove. combine their earliest work into a statement debut offering. Featuring the singles 'Liquorice', '2 Missed Calls' and 'lmk (if you wanna see me)', they received strong playlist support, landing on New Music Friday UK, Fresh Finds, Alt-Pop and The Pop List amongst others on Spotify, as well as New Music Daily, New in Alternative and Breaking Alternative on Apple Music. They have also received strong radio support with 2FM, BBC R1, BBC R6, BBC Ulster, XS Manchester, Across the Line, and Radio X, as well as featured in The Line of Best Fit, Earmilk, Wonderland, Hot Press, MTV, Under The Radar, Nialler9, Golden Plec, Atwood Magazine, Ones To Watch, Vacancy, and named as the Official Charts' Ones to Watch', alongside The Irish Times' 15 fine Irish Music Acts to Listen to in 2022. Live sessions with BBC Introducing and Seconds Away with Gemma Bradley have also helped to cement modernlove.'s position as one of the most exciting up-and-coming acts in the UK.

Like their name suggests, modernlove. explore the complexities of the modern lives of twenty-somethings. Even though their lives are still complicated, Barry, Cian, Danny and Graham of Drogheda have already nailed their sound; they deliver polished, indie-pop with a glossy '90s sheen and intricate details.
