Welcome Strangers is the enchanting second album from Scottish (via Lancashire) band Modern Studies, released in 2018 on Fire Records. Drawing praise for its blend of soaring psychedelic rock with ambient power-drone melodies, the album features ethereal, partially-buried female vocals set against swirling, atmospheric guitar soundscapes that evoke both the natural world and the cycles of everyday life.
This release sees Modern Studies building on the pastoral influences of their debut and venturing into new sonic territory, melding folksy introspection with unexpected moments of dance-floor energy. With themes ranging from the dance of the seasons to family and lost connections, Welcome Strangers offers a thoughtful and immersive listening experience, beautifully complemented by Keith Wilson’s evocative cover painting.
