Modern Studies (band)

Modern Studies is a Scottish rock band from Perthshire. The group has released three albums and a remix collaboration, all on Fire Records.

History

The band was founded in 2015 by Emily Scott, who had been writing songs on an antique harmonium in her home in Glasgow. She arranged to give the instrument to an acquaintance, Pete Harvey, who owned a recording studio called Pumpkinfield in Perthshire, and together they began working on Scott's material together. After adding Joe Smillie and Rob St. John, they recorded Scott's material in Harvey's studio with additional instrumentation, enough for an album.[1] That album, Swell to Great, was issued by the label Song, by Toad in 2016 and then by Fire soon after. A follow-up, Welcome Strangers, was released in 2018, and this album was remixed in collaboration with Tommy Perman and issued as Emergent Slow Arcs in 2019. In May 2020, they released their third album, The Weight of the Sun.
