 Modern Woman, the London art-rock outfit fronted by Sophie Harris, release their anticipated debut album ‘Johnny’s Dreamworld’.
 ‘Johnny’s Dreamworld’ represents the culmination of Modern Woman’s journey from Harris’s early, intimate songwriting project into a full-bodied band capable of folding post-punk, avant-garde and folk traditions into a live force of dynamic originality.
 At its heart, the record explores the strange poetry buried within the ordinary. Harris’s lyrics, steeped in literary detail and filmic atmosphere, draw from a fascination with the dark underbelly of the everyday and the contradictions of womanhood.
 Harris explains, “A vital theme I’ve always wanted in Modern Woman is the idea of conflicting things, of the tender / harsh, loud / quiet and scrappy / polished. The style of everybody’s playing, drawing from a melting pot of influences, coming together to form something new.”
 This interplay defines the album’s sound - delicate one moment, raw and untamed the next. Layers of violin and saxophone stretch across a foundation of propulsive drums and bass, creating something equally methodical and volatile. Harris’s lyrics remain rooted in the female experience; “I find it interesting to explore the rawer side of femininity that is often hidden; girlhood relationships and the complexities of female fixation and obsession.”
 “Modern Woman are an unquestionably contemporary, subcultural godsend” - So Young
 “A more operatic and elegant take on the post-punk wave that has been coming out of the UK” - Stereogum
 “Modern Woman deliver ethereal Kate Bush-style theatrics… providing an intriguing peak into their world” - NME
 Recent live UK dates supporting Ezra Furman. 
 LP available to independent retailers on Red coloured vinyl.
