self-titled (MCA)

Parisians Yann Destagnol and Romain Tranchart have assembled a pastiche of house, pop and old school disco for their initial release as Modjo, and it's an impressive debut. While they're pictured with guitars, they make generous use of samples, synths and sequencers in the production of their music, but whatever technology or instrumentation is at play, they never lose sight of the central fact that good pop music is constructed from good songs. Modjo offers good songs. Danceable tracks you can sing along to, great party music, great driving music, great stuff anytime the mood calls for energy and an uplifting spirit.

Track List:

Acknowledgement * Chillin' * Lady (Hear Me Tonight) * Too Good To Be True * Peace Of Mind * What I Mean * Music Takes You Back * No More Tears * Rollercoaster * On Fire * Savior Eyes * Lady (Acoustic Version)
