With a recent support slots for Good Cop Bad Cop (Arctic Monkeys’ Matt Helders new band) Larkins, and Judah and The Lion under their belt, modernlove. headline The Soundhouse, Dublin on February 21st.
‘Hard To Tell You’ is a song about finding it hard to express your emotions to others and communicate, even with the people closest to you. It is about feeling so far away from the person you are meant to be with intimately, and how that distance can cause a relationship to decay. This melancholic narrative is juxtaposed with a sonically upbeat and euphoric atmosphere created by catchy pop guitar hooks, bold bass lines and thundering dance drumbeats.
