6/4/26.

Darla Records is reissuing Mahogany (Detroit, Michigan) "The Dream of a Modern Day". The album is categorized as shoegaze, but, give it a listen and I think you'll agree, that label doesn't really begin to fully describe the music here.

Darla's write up does accurately describe some of it's sound when it states that "The Dream of a Modern Day" is "[i]nfluenced by the austerity of early Factory Records as well as the grandeur of Cocteau Twins." I'm not a huge fan of Cocteau Twins so there's more. This band opened for the likes of A Place To Bury Strangers, Bloc Party, Broadcast, Luna, Spoon, and Vampire Weekend. There's a care to the production and sound that does recall Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips). And I can't help but think of Candy Claws.

This album originally came out in 2000 and has been remastered for this reissue by Warren Defever (His Name Is Alive). The full album can be streamed in many places. Here is a link to YouTube.
