Modern Skirts fall tour begins today, prepping new album!

"These eerily assured Athens, Georgia boys swoon like 10cc reborn as indie-pop lotharios." --Spin Magazine
It's been a busy year for Athens, GA's Modern Skirts. January saw the release of the critically acclaimed All of Us In Our Night. But instead of spending the year resting on their accomplishments, the Skirts went right back into the studio and started work on their 3rd, soon to be completed, full-length release. Their fall tour, beginning today, will be serve as a testing ground for their new material.

The band recently stopped by world famous Ardent Studios in Memhpis for an Ardent Session. Check out one of the new songs, "DUI", that they're sure to be testing on the tour. Via YouTube.

“Listening to Modern Skirts is like listening to the soundtrack of your favorite film on the Sundance Channel. And this listener-friendly band’s sophomore release, All Of Us In Our Night, is an almost cinematic delight.” Ron Trembath - Fensepost

“Destined to become one of the indie albums of the year” Pasquale Iannone - Under The Radar

“Based in Athens, Ga., this four-piece indie-rock outfit builds its melodic music on a relatively simple foundation of guitars and piano. Added to that is a consistently dreamy layer of sounds, like something that might have been concocted by a more restrained Brian Wilson.” Jim Abbott - Orlando Sentinel
