Modern English is excited to announce the release of 1 2 3 4, the legendary British new wave/post-punk band’s first album of new material in eight years. 24-DATE U.S. SUMMER AMPHITHEATER TOUR WITH SIMPLE MINDS AND SOFT CELL KICKS OFF MAY 16 IN RIDGEFIELD, WA "I MELT WITH YOU" HONORED WITH MILLION-AIR AWARD FOR 8 MILLION BROADCAST PERFORMANCES AT 2024 BMI LONDON AWARDS “A searing new single which takes aim at leaders on both sides of the pond.” — Rolling Stone "The cold clang of post-punk guitars and synths sounds very 'now', but the veteran band brings a depth and worldliness to these songs that sets them apart." — Mojo “Not unlike ‘I Melt With You’, 1 2 3 4 taps into political themes reflective of the last four years.” — SPIN “'1 2 3 4' remains firmly rooted in a 1980s New Wave aesthetic of sharp-edged guitar jangles and world-weary, vaguely sarcastic and gently political lyrics." — UNCUT 1 2 3 4 is Modern English’s first album of new material in eight years, a collection that retains the intrinsic spirit of the band’s early post-punk days and 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, politics and more, 1 2 3 4 finds the legendary band delving into nostalgia but, as always, exploring new creative territory.
