about
www.themodernelectric.com The Modern Electric are a Cleveland-based four piece with a passion for their city and an unapologetic enthusiasm for pop music. Equal parts dark and orchestral as it is warm and melodic, they have coined the term “cinematic pop” to define their sound. Considered to be the aural counterpart to 8mm film, cinematic pop is organic, soulful, and saturated in emotion. Their debut album is a soundtrack to real-life heartache, but has the passion to fit any silver screen love story such as Garden State or The Graduate. Influences include Arcade Fire, Clem Snide, T. Rex, and David Bowie—the latter having been immortalized in the band’s unforgettable homage, “David Bowie (Save Us All).” Years of heart-felt, energetic performances have helped The Modern Electric to amass a devoted following. Citizendick.org, an independent blog focusing on the Midwest music scene, describes the group as “savvy indie-rock veterans, dropping hooks and energy left and right.” The Modern Electric have performed at Cleveland’s Tower City Ampitheater, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Summer Concert Series, The Burning River Fest, The Ingenuity Fest, The Brite Winter Fest, Indiana’s Jurassic Pop Fest, and The House of Blues with national acts like Fitz and the Tantrums, Eli “Paperboy” Reed, Rogue Wave, The Elected, and Sloan. Their 2009 self-titled release was written, recorded, and produced entirely by the band. It was voted Best Album of 2011 in the Cleveland Scene Magazi
