Description

Modern Woman, the London art-rock outfit fronted by primary songwriter Sophie Harris, release their anticipated debut albumJohnnys Dreamworldvia their new label One Little Independent Records.

Johnnys Dreamworldrepresents the culmination of Modern Womans journey from Harriss 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. Harriss lyrics, steeped in literary detail and filmic atmosphere, draw from a fascination with the dark underbelly of the everyday and the contradictions of womanhood.

Johnnys Dreamworld is a tender but confrontational collage of shifting tones and perspectives, of dream logic, fantasy, and lived experiences, guided by Harriss voice; expressive, incantatory, and alive with curiosity, shaped by a long-standing admiration for vocalists like Bjrk, Sinad OConnor and Cat Power.

Johnnys Dreamworldcements Modern Woman as one of the UKs most distinctive new voices, a band intelligently and purposefully exploring the relationship between beauty and brutality.
