Nottingham-based duo Modern Coven have been casting their spell on the indie music scene with a unique blend of dark folk and dream pop.
With an ever-growing discography that delves into the mystical and the macabre, they’ve established themselves as a formidable presence in the underground music world.
Their journey began with ‘Curses’ in 2020, an album that introduced listeners to their signature sound—a mix of haunting melodies, ethereal vocals, and lyrics that delve into themes of mysticism and the supernatural. This debut was followed closely by ‘Always Watching’, also released in 2020, where the duo continued to explore the eerie and the otherworldly, with songs that felt like they were plucked straight from a dark fairytale.
In 2021, Modern Coven took their sound even deeper into the shadows with ‘The Beast’. This album was a turning point, showcasing a more refined and complex approach to their music. The haunting atmospheres were darker, the lyrics more reflective, and the production more polished, yet still retaining that raw, emotional edge that had become their trademark.
Their latest release, ‘It’s All Over’ (2022), sees Modern Coven reaching new heights. The album combines everything they’ve perfected over the years—moody, minimalist instrumentation, captivating vocals, and an overarching sense of melancholy and mystery. Each track is carefully crafted to draw the listener into their world, a place where reality blurs with the supernatural, and where every note seems to carry a hidden meaning.
Modern Coven's work resonates deeply with those who find beauty in the darker aspects of life. Their music isn't just something to listen to—it's a journey through the shadowy recesses of the mind. With each release, they invite listeners to step deeper into their witchy world, and it’s clear that they have no intention of slowing down anytime soon.
