Out Late April
THESE MODERN SOCKS - Built in a spare room comparable to Deep Space 9, forged in keys, distortion and pure gumption, These Modern Socks push jittery keyboard lines, stop and go drums and a combination of electric and acoustic guitar into a well crafted, synth-guitar-pop, Louvre-worthy masterpiece. The quintet is an eclectic combination of extremely well versed musicians, midwestern gentlemen and adorable Star Trek fans of the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.
Recording nearly the entire album in a spare room in his home, Corey Palmer (guitar, keys, vocals) took his vision of the perfect pop record and put it to tape. He opted to enlist the talents of his former Daykit band mates, Nick Tveitbakk (keys, samples, backup vocals) and Aaron "Al" Bergstrom (bass, backup vocals). Still looking to expand the sound of the ensemble, the group recruited Twin Cities' scene veterans Park Evans (electric guitar) and Adrian Suarez (drums). Together they tell the story of a trip to space and back, truly worthy of the Universe's (and Pluto's) respect.
