No, we’re not talking about the David Bowie song. We’re talking about the indie-pop band modernlove. They just recently arrived to the music scene with their June 2021 debut EP, which gave us a glimpse of their range and eccentricity. Now, their new 6-track EP tells stories of the band’s teenage years, brought together with a variety of The 1975-esque, euphoric soundscapes and disco bops. Today, the band focuses on their lead single, “2 Missed Calls”.
The EP's focus track, "2 Missed Calls," is a feel-good, danceable pop song with dark lyrical undertones. It details a guilt-laden love triangle across jangling guitar riffs, spacey synths, and mid-tempo drum rhythms. The accompanying music video visualizes such a scenario at a neon-lit party, where a drunken promenade of regret ultimately meets a happy ending.
The band shared about their writing process, "'2 Missed Calls' was at first intended to be a more upbeat, feel-good love song. As the track developed, the narrative began to shift toward something less innocent and cheerful. A lot of what we write about is young love and the rush and the craziness that comes with it.”
