After the rapturous praise for their recently unveiled single 'Us' near the end of last year, which found support across countless tastemakers including Wonderland, Hot Press, Official Charts and many more, Irish indie-rock outfit modernlove. are back to their vibrant ways as they deliver their energetic new single 'Follow You' today, February 14th through Akira Records (Phoria, Henry Green, Mt. Wolf, Rosie Carney, Shura).

Continuing more of that bold and blistering pop-rock sound they have earned a reputation for, 'Follow You' delivers a knockout punch of frenzied guitar hooks and catchy vocals from start to finish. Produced and mixed by Tom Leach (Col3trane, Lewis Capaldi, The Streets) and mastered by Kevin Tuffy (Alfie Templeman, Matt Maltese) the new single is a rousing ode to the anthemic indie bangers of the early 00s that the boys grew up on. Filled with all the same charm and uplifting textures of their recent material, and beautifully captured in the colourful, bubbly video, the group are set to kick off their 2022 campaign with spirited finesse.

Speaking about the new offering, the band said, "'Follow You' is a love song about the early stages of infatuation in a relationship. It’s about finding yourself in a relationship so intimate that spending each waking moment together still isn't enough, hence the lyrics "when you fall asleep I'll follow you".

"Musically, we wanted to write a song that resonated with the nostalgia of those same naive infatuations and took us back to when we first started the band as teenagers finding ourselves as people as well as artists. A simple four chord structure that echoed the likes of bloc party, the cure and new order. A song that we could fully jam on together and jump around to."

Their debut EP 'monochrome blue', released in September 2021, 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.
