modernlove. Share New Single ‘Follow You’
Irish indie-rock outfit modernlove. have just shared their brand new single Follow You, a vibrant, energetic indie-rock gem out now via Akira Records.
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. The song's infectious energy instantly got me in a good mood and energised to carry on with my day, and I think you will appreciate its extra dose of energy.
Produced and mixed by Tom Leach (Col3trane, Lewis Capaldi, The Streets) and mastered by Kevin Tuffy (Alfie Templeman, Matt Maltese) Follow You is a song about the early stages of being in a relationship, and all the excitement that comes with it. I am particularly fond of the soaring guitar riffs throughout the song and how they are nicely paired with punchy drums that create quite an addictive, high-energy atmosphere. Follow You is a rousing ode to the anthemic indie bangers of the early 00s that the boys grew up on.
Accompanying the release, the band have shared its colourful, bubbly music video that beautifully enhances the song's feel-good atmosphere and that got me smiling and dancing along to it in no time. Check it out below!
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.
