Modema
Shares debut track 'Running Back'
Out now on Corridor of Dreams


Scottish synth maestro Emily Zurowski, might have caught your eye if you’ve seen The Orielles live in the past couple of years - now she’s ready to unveil her debut solo single under the moniker Modema. 'Running Back' finds her perched between the worlds of club textures & experimental pop, occupying the same space as ML Buch, Jenny Hval & Caroline Polachek. Working behind the counter at Manchester institution Piccadilly Records opened a gateway into the various realms of electronic music, a rich diet of hyperpop, ambient & electronica feeding into the project’s complex futuristic sound.
Self-produced alongside Joel Anthony Patchett (The Orielles, King Krule, Jane Weaver), Running Back is a patchwork made up of fragments of vocals atop somnambulist synth lines & scattered drum patterns. The basslines contain multitudes, fluctuating from gentle melodies to pulsating rhythms. The result is a track as at home in the headphones as on the dancefloor.

"I think this is a reflection of my scrambled inner monologue - it’s a patchwork of thoughts and feelings rather than a story." Emily explains. "I guess generally it’s about a fragmented feeling of self and trying to maintain a connection with others and the world in general. The opening line ‘You’re in two’ refers to the mind being split in two - feeling like a multitude of things rather than a solid whole. And ‘running back’ is about returning to a feeling of finality and wholeness."
Running Back is out now on Corridor Of Dreams.
