Modern Studies is a folk rock band hailing from Scotland, specifically Perthshire, Glasgow, and Lancashire. The band consists of Emily Scott on vocals, organs, piano, and double bass; Rob St. John on vocals, guitar, synths, harmonium, and tape loops; Pete Harvey on cello, bass, and piano; and Joe Smillie on drums, mellotron, and vocals.

Their unique blend of instruments creates a captivating sound that draws inspiration from various genres such as folk rock. With *Emily Scott's* enchanting vocals leading the way alongside the mesmerizing melodies produced by *Rob St. John*, Modern Studies delivers an unforgettable musical experience.

If you enjoy artists like Pictish Trail or Kathryn Joseph or if you appreciate the sounds of Modern Nature or Lightning In A Twilight Hour then Modern Studies is sure to be your cup of tea. Their music has also been compared to Death and Vanilla and Constant Smiles among others.

Through the hazy daze of a smoky folk opus, Modern Studies craft rich soundtracks, stuttering Super-8 sketches from a washed-out world of melancholy, hand-tinted and tantalising. Lullaby couplets blossom into gorgeous chamber pop melodies, the drama unfolding behind Emily Scott’s plaintive vocal; part Julie London, part Sandy Denny, a little bit Kate Bush, with a hushed sigh of Joni.

Sweeping strings carry them into unchartered terrain on their new album ‘We Are There’, flying high above their psych-folk roots, it’s an epic journey that’s exquisitely delivered, transcending categories, nodding to Brubeck, Low, Talk Talk, Jim O’Rourke and Pentangle, making music that is ready to cross over in these modern times with songs of substance.
