Something For Kate - The Modern Medieval (2020) Hi Res

There is no denying The Modern Medieval, the new album from Something for Kate. A song cycle that's incisive, compelling, and transformative - for both the listener and the Melbourne trio - the band's first studio set in eight years is an electrifying salve for these strange days and a new benchmark in a storied career. Offering an unprecedented depth of songwriting, it's the 2020 vision you'll need to hear and hear again. An evocative reminder that greatness isn't a burden, it's a starting point for creating something that matters, the record is defined by urgent instrumentation, bittersweet melodies, and lyrics that are daring in their detail; you can hum along even as these songs hit you hard. The pieces are reassuringly familiar - the impassioned voice and vivid guitars of frontman Paul Dempsey, Stephanie Ashworth's alluring bass, and Clint Hyndman's sweeping drums - but they've reconnected in exciting new ways.
