Premiere: ‘This Is How It Hurts’ – Justin Stokes (from the band Wilding) shows us exactly how in his new solo project Modern Ideas.
We are massive fans of the work of Justin Stokes through his work with the band Wilding, admiring his ability to craft intelligent self-deprecating pop of the highest order. We are therefore honoured to bring you the debut single 'This Is How It Hurts' from his new project called Modern Ideas. Modern Ideas explores a new synth pop universe, as Stokes eloquently explains: Synthetic forms can be the most authentic way to express emotion. Something is revealed in the antithesis. Plastic dreams, electric romance, and machines humming with human desire.
