The Modern Age CD

On 22nd March 2019,nbspSleepernbsprelease their first album in 21 years,nbspThe Modern Age.nbspIt wasnrsquot meant to happen. In fact, the band had promised each other it never would.nbspldquoWe had no plan to get back together. Sometimes life throwsnbsp you a massive curve ball.nbspYou end up jumping off the cliff, just to see what it feels like.rdquo Singer, Louise WenernbspThe band spent summer 2018 recordingnbspThe Modern Agenbspwith their long time producer, Stephen Street nbsp a relationship that clicked into place again right away.nbspThey tracked live at Metway studios in their adopted city of Brighton, before decamping to Streetrsquos studio in West London to add the finishing touches.nbspThe Modern Age is the outward looking sound of a band revitalized and refreshed. Covering subjects from motherhood and social media to personal loss and, inevitably, relationships.nbspThe Modern Age retainsnbspSleeperrsquos classic pop sensibilities with a shiny, new, contemporary feel.nbspThe first single to be taken from the album isnbspLook at You Now.nbspInitially it appears to be referencing Sleeperrsquos comeback, but itrsquos a protest song at heart a howl for the politically homeless in a landscape where reasoned debate has given way to vitriol.
