MODERNS

The music of MODERNS melds the talents of singer-songwriter Rosie Okumura and veteran multi-instrumentalist and engineer/producer Christopher Fudurich, who has more than a decade’s worth of a credits working with mostly rock bands. Fudurich brings that sensibility to the duo’s synth-pop, using vintage analog gear and eschewing much of the genre’s digi-tricks. MODERNS represents Fudurich’s first collaboration with his own musical input, and Okumura is game for his game, her vocals effortlessly soaring and diving over elastic beats and gritty soundscapes. The duo released their first EP earlier this year and are already working on a second. The new song “Statique” has a Euro feel, and the video comes courtesy of Chad Fjerstad, an L.A. artist who runs the multimedia production house, Ephemerol Night Terrors, and who has done provocative work for Geneva Jacuzzi and FIERCEDAD. No, nobody roofied your YouTube. But it is spastic, chromatic and far from static.
