The EP wasrecorded and mixed by Shuta Shinoda (Anna Meredith, Jehnny Beth, Hot Chip) and mastered by Jason Mitchell (PJ Harvey,Aldous Harding, Dry Cleaning).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLondon based Modern Woman began life as the songwriting project of Sophie Harris, a literature graduate who started playing\u003cbr\u003ethe songs solo at spoken word nights she ran. “I had a firm idea of the direction I wanted the project to go in, and I knew that\u003cbr\u003ecouldn’t be achieved without a full band.” Harris says speaking ofthe band’s beginnings. “It was important to me to keep the\u003cbr\u003etenderness and lyricism of folk music but blend this with heavier and weirder experimental elements.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn introduction through a mutual friend led her to meeting David Denyer, an Anglo-German-Armenian composer by trade\u003cbr\u003ewhose interests include Merzbow records and building his own instruments and pedals. The two started playing together with\u003cbr\u003eDenyer playing an array of homemade violins, synths, effects and percussion - including a battered wooden table with a metal\u003cbr\u003ecolander nailed into it and jagged remnants of cymbals that take a pummeling throughout the band’s live show. Explaining the \u003cbr\u003eset up Denyer says; “We always talked about being influenced a lot by Tom Waits and there are lots of stories of him smashing\u003cbr\u003eup doors and using it as percussion so we gave it a shot. Thecolander was Sophie’s idea. I love pasta though so it sits really\u003cbr\u003ewell with me.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter a period of comings and goings of different line ups theband was completed after meeting Madrid-born bassist plus occasional saxophonist Juan Brint Gutiérrez through an ex-bandmate of his, who in turn introduced drummer Adam Blackhurst.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlaying their first show in the later half of 2019 the band quickly built a word of mouth following around their incendiary live\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eperformances playing alongside the likes of Dan Carey’s Scotti Brains, Tiña and Automatic, before lockdown cruelly stopped\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethem in their tracks.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfter being invited to play End of the Road’s streamed digital edition in 2020 it helped introduce the band to a wider audience\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eoutside of the smattering of shows they’d played in pre-pandemic times and earned them fans in peers like Squid and Black\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMidi.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe band’s music, still based around Harris’ songwriting, explores a diverse range of sounds drawing from their melting pot of\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003einfluences from post-punk and 60s folk music to free-jazz and noise. Lyrical nods to myth and folklore sit amongst songs that\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003erange from poetic monologues, stripped back folk songs to theferociously experimental.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEnd of the Road founder Simon Taffe says of the release “As soon as we accidentally stumbled upon a Modern Woman live\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eshow, we were obsessed. They were so fully formed. We were stunned to discover they hadn’t even recorded a song.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“Whilst the pandemic has been devastating for the live music industry as a whole, we also really felt for new bands and artists\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ejust starting out in their career.
