modernlove., Miette Hope – Early Show! – ALL AGES

With larger than life indie-pop anthems born of small town boredom, coming of age, big nights out and young love gone wrong, modernlove are a new generation’s brightest hope – already racking up streams in their millions and selling out shows, simply by singing about what they know and having a good time doing it. From playing dingey rural pubs to working with super-producer Luca (of Arlo Parks and Lana Del Rey fame), this Irish band of young 20-somethings are about to show the world the true heights of their ambition. Miette Hope is a Brooklyn, NY based singer-songwriter and producer. Raised out of the mountains of Colorado, she weaves introspective stories of love, grief and loneliness. Through heart wrenching production that’s supported by manipulated vocal effects, punchy drums, and intricate melodic lines, Miette has carved a genre bending left of center pocket for herself. By melding the lyricism of Pheobe Bridgers the pioneership of Portishead, Remi Wolf and King Princess and the spirit of troubadours Joni Mitchell and Patti Smith, she is unafraid to break the mold with a nod to her influences. Alongside her solo project, Miette produces and writes for several other artists as well as composes music for TV, Film and Ads. For Miette, collaboration is a key factor to her creative process; she champions the NYC music scene by frequently organizing writing camps and networking events to bring her community together. Of her recent track, “Enough,” MTV News declared, “The New York-based singer/songwriter tackles grief head-on with the track, creating a haunting inward journey that finds the narrator coping with pain via whatever means she can to fill the void.” Her songs have received continuous praise from publications like EarMilk and Popdust and editorial placements via Spotify on playlists like, Salt, Soda, Hanging out and Relaxing, Fresh Finds, etc.

PLAID – w/ Solenoid, dreamcastmoe, Soul Ipsum – 21+

PLEASE NOTE:  This is the new date for Plaid! All tickets purchased will be honored for this Sunday January 21 date. Due to flight cancellations in the Northwest around this inclement weather, Plaid were not able to make their way to Portland to perform for the originally scheduled Thursday Jan 18 show. However, Ed Handley will be able to travel to Portland this Sunday, January 21, to perform the Plaid set The new line up for Sunday January 21 will be: Plaid, Solenoid, Dreamcastmoe and Soul Ipsum.   We, and they, so appreciate all of the fans sticking with us over multiple reschedules of this show, and we are happy to finally make it work with a creative soliution this Sunday! On the cusp of their 30th year with Warp records, now is the time to reflect on the massively important presence of Plaid, aka Ed Handley and Andy Turner. An institution since the late 80s, they’re monumental cornerstones for any self-respecting electronic music fan; mainly as Plaid, but also under aliases including The Black Dog and Balil — not to mention their work with Bjork. Playful and wondrous, their 11th album ‘Feorm Falorx’ is generally gentler than the dark angularity its predecessor ‘Polymer,’ but it’s no less deep, and maintains the melodicism for which they’re loved. It’s still highly rhythmic too — traversing ‘Set If Off’ hi-hats, digitised harpsichords, mangled mandolin, cascading strings, rude basslines, mercurial grooves and even a touch of goth guitar.Keen advocates of technology, here they manage to sound cutting edge, but also warm, human and nostalgic — purveying a sort of high-tech-retro-futurism. As usual they’re ever evolving, but there’s also line traceable right back within their own music. From their maverick early releases until now, they’ve embraced new methods of synthesis and explored diverse musical styles, maintaining a thread that spins through the early hip hop of their youth and beyond — to the sounds of the 60s and 70s that inspired it. Although not immediately obvious, on closer listen you can discern the influence of wigged-out grooves like Prince’s ‘Soft and Wet,’ Bob James’ ‘Westchester Lady’ and Jethro Tull’s ‘Bourée.’The creatively emancipated, light-hearted nature of the sounds is reflected in the album’s concept, which finds the duo recreating a recent performance at the Feorm Festival, an intergalactic shindig held on the planet Falorx. In order to survive the Falorxian atmosphere they were converted into light so the traditional recording devices they’d taken on their spacecraft ‘The Campbell’ were not functional. Fortunately, having consulted Earth’s Space Agency, it was deemed safe to recreate the performance back in their London studio. Extensive testing of the resulting recordings have established a level of thought contamination deemed, “perfectly acceptable.”‘The album artwork and press photos were created using a myriad of AI technology, Image Synthesis and OpenAI’s DALL·E, which can be seen in action here. Expanding on the same theme using AI/AR mechanisms, these will be followed by videos and a graphic novel, building into a whole Falorxian planet.’
