Album Notes & Community Reviews

Best known for the monumental hit 'I Melt with You', Modern English's sophomore album beautifully bridges the gap between abrasive post-punk and shimmering, atmospheric new wave. 'After the Snow' weaves intricately delayed guitars and driving rhythms with heavily romantic, poetic lyricism, producing an incredibly melodic, bittersweet, and vaguely psychedelic sonic texture.
