WYCE LIVE AT WEALTHY 1/16/14: get your tickets 11/15!
Modern Kin, formerly known as the dynamic alt-gospel act Drew Grow and the Pastors Wives, are back with a new album, name and leaner line-up Gone are the hints of bucolic folk, the bands soaring harmonies now rage, ragged edges left raw and exposed. The new album, produced by Janet Weiss (of Sleater-Kinney, Quasi, Wild Flag), is a truer representation of the band than past recordings, highlighting the frenetic energy of singer Drew Grow, who, at his best, is perfectly unhinged, a captivating presence who no matter how close you look or listen, you cant quite figure out. In a sea of pacifistic soundalikes, Modern Kin is a refreshing death rattle unwilling to go passively. More electric than acoustic, more soul than sound, more brave than bright
