Modern English is excited to announce the Friday, February 23 release of 1 2 3 4, the legendary British new wave/post-punk band's first album of new material in eight years. Produced by Mario J. McNulty (David Bowie, Lou Reed, Nine Inch Nails), mixed by Cenzo Townsend and mastered at Abbey Road, 1 2 3 4 retains the intrinsic spirit of these early post-punk days, and is also a sterling sonic example of what Modern English have always done best.
The album encompasses seething songs with a punk bite ("Long in The Tooth," "Plastic"), keyboard-forward melodic rockers ("Not Fake," "Crazy Lovers") and simmering, darkwave-meets-post-punk gems ("Exploding," "Out to Lunch"). With a touch of subtle themes lifted from After the Snow (1982) and Ricochet Days (1984) that include the environment, aging, failed relationships, love and more, 1 2 3 4 finds the legendary band delving into nostalgia but, as always, exploring new creative territory. With singles "Long in the Tooth" and "Crazy Lovers" released in advance of the announcement, today the band offers "Not My Leader," a scathing observation on politics in both the U.S. and the UK and how they aren't dissimilar.
"I remember first coming to America in the early-'80s," frontman Robbie Grey recalls. "We had Margaret Thatcher and you had Ronald Reagan. And then fast forward to today to Donald Trump and all the politicians and corporate organizations that have followed - along with their corruption and greed. It's the same thing 40 years later, really. It's the same old shit that makes the ordinary person feel sick. 'Not My Leader' is a song against those people."
