The Breakdown’s ‘Modern Lies’ Will Cure You of 90s Indie Rock Nostalgia
The Breakdown are an indie rock band with sublime melodic propensities. By reviving the charm of melodies in dazy rock atmospheres, they make the emotion more personal, intimate, and accessible. The band insightfully leverages the power of song, the complexity of tonality, and rhythmic language to immerse the listener in the theme. Their latest release is ‘Modern Lies’, a track with the 90s ethos of The Smiths, Joy Division, and The Cure. Listen Now!
The track is broody and melancholic. Its dark melodic spaces are beautifully contrasted with warm and evocative baritones. And with experimental melody lines, wandering rhythms, and atmospheric guitar solos, the band phenomenally expands the soundscape to a post rock dimension, driving to a grand, cerebral climax.
