On this episode of Side Projects, I am joined, once again, by London’s Modern Guilt. Or at least most of them. Scott, Jaz, and Andreas are joined by their producer Mikey Buckley of Desert Ships. Missing during this recording are Dan and Glyn. And Glyn is especially missing, as he has left the band; but they tell me it was on good terms. We’ll see about that. But that situation actually factors into the topic of this episode: the importance of building solid foundations.
The band talks about having three foundational, core members who do the writing while the other one or two members (depending on what time we’re referencing) supplement that. That foundation is evident in the trust they all have, not only in each other, but also with Mikey. That’s why they can do a guitar solo by committee or let Mikey let them know when a song needs to stay vulnerable and stripped down. The foundation of Modern Guilt’s first EP, You’re Welcome, has allowed the band to be more experimental and exploratory on the new EP, We’ll Always Have Vegas. It sounds more like the band than the bands they are influenced by. We also talk about T-shirts, borrowing things from The Stone Roses, and the effective use of space.
