Originally released in 1994, ‘Modern Rock’ was The Clean’s second studio album.
Now being re-issued, the album, with its slightly tongue-in-cheek title, is an elaborate set of songs that sees the band further experimenting with their fuzz-drenched pop. From the swirling keyboard echoes on “Outside the Cage”, the spacious vocals on “Something I Need” through to the off-kilter melodies of “Too Much Violence” and “Do Your Thing”, it captures all the elements that make this band so great.
Modern Rock is at times more inward-looking than the band’s earlier work, and even melancholic in moments, making it both constantly intriguing and instantly recognisable. Formed in Dunedin in 1978, The Clean helped kickstart Flying Nun Records in the early 1980s and have gone on to become one of New Zealand’s most loved bands.
