(CCM) Legendary British new wave/post-punk band Modern English is excited to present the Twin Tribes remix of "Not Fake," a track lifted from the band's latest album, 1 2 3 4, produced by Mario J. McNulty (David Bowie, Lou Reed, Nine Inch Nails).
Transforming the swirling and atmospheric indie of the original to a deeply dark and moving electronic offering, the "Not Fake" Remix from the Texas-based, Mexican-American darkwave duo is the first of several remix offerings from Modern English set to release across 2025 that will be provided by Hugo Burnham (founding member of Gang of Four), Kontravoid, MS. BOAN, InHalt, Actors, Nuovo Testamento and Sundowners dB.
"It was such a privilege to have worked on this remix for a band of Modern English's caliber, who continue to create meaningful music that connects with people all over the world," Twin Tribes said. "Rooted in nature and honesty, this track speaks to the deep need for realness in a world full of illusion."
1 2 3 4 is Modern English's first album of new material in eight years, a collection that retains the intrinsic spirit of the band's early post-punk days and a sterling sonic example of what Modern English have always done best.
The album encompasses seething songs with a punk bite ("Long in The Tooth," "Plastic"), keyboard-forward melodic rockers ("Not Fake," "Crazy Lovers") and simmering, darkwave-meets-post-punk gems ("Exploding," "Out to Lunch").
With a touch of subtle themes lifted from After the Snow (1982) and Ricochet Days (1984) that include the environment, aging, failed relationships, love, politics and more, 1 2 3 4 finds the legendary band delving into nostalgia but, as always, exploring new creative territory.
Kicking off tomorrow, Friday, May 16 at the Cascades Amphitheater in Ridgefield, WA, Modern English will tour the U.S. with Scottish icons Simple Minds through June 22. The 24-date, Live Nation-produced tour will represent Simple Minds' biggest North American run in four decades and feature support in all markets from Soft Cell.
