Todd Modern Needs TV Watching Companion
Todd Modern has a confession: he just wants someone to watch telly with.
The Liverpool-based lo-fi artist has dropped his third single, TV, and it's basically a fuzzy love letter to loneliness in our hyper-connected world. Because nothing says modern romance quite like needing a Netflix buddy.
The track builds from a simple observation - "people move slow and cars moving faster on their own" - into something unexpectedly profound. It's sonder set to music, that peculiar awareness of all the unseen lives happening around you in a city full of strangers.
TV sits somewhere between Sorry and My Bloody Valentine, with a healthy dose of Pavement and Velvet Underground thrown in. Guitars buzz, drums crash, but it all boils down to one brilliantly human moment: "who would've thought I needed someone just to watch TV with."
Recorded with Chris Taylor at Kempston Street Studios, the single started as a commentary on modern life moving too fast for the people living it. What it became was something more personal - and infinitely more relatable.
Originally from coastal Cumbria and now making waves in Liverpool's DIY scene, todd modern continues to build his reputation on raw textures and quiet observations. His previous singles yyours and break the glass <333 caught attention from Under the Radar, God Is in the TV, and BBC Introducing.
Sometimes the most profound statements are the simplest ones. In a world of endless streaming options and infinite connectivity, maybe what we're all really missing is just someone to share the sofa with.
