Modern English are best known for the 1982 single I Melt With You, which kids these days often mistakenly think is by The Cure or Taco Bells marketing department. It turns out theyve made a few other songs in their 30-year career, including an entire albums worth released this past May. There are no head-bopping jangle ditties to be found on Soundtrack and no cheesy beefy melts at the Triple Door but instead a deep, dramatic selection thats much more mature than any of us were in the 80s.
