about

THE SKINNY
"A knack for the complex art of keeping things simple. With a trio of accomplished vocalists taking turns at lead, 'You Chose These Woes' sits closer in style to indie acts like Aberfeldy or The Lucksmiths."

THE LINE OF BEST FIT
“Ian Scanlon’s Robert Smith-esque tones have their fair share of heartache and his voice practically explodes with sadness and hope.”

SLATE THE DISCO
"A well-worked construction of indie-pop with hints of Americana and country."

Model Village return with their second album ‘You Chose These Woes’, though on a technicality this could really be their debut. 2012’s ‘A Solution To Everything’ was a compilation of early singles, which no less than The Line Of Best Fit described thus: “As deft as The Shins at their finest and completely ace with it”. That’s an accurate comparison because this new album features subtly brilliant indie-pop with nods toward folk and country.

Featuring no less than three lead singers, the Model Village line-up for ‘You Chose These Woes’ stabilised in their Cambridge hometown during writing and recording after a few months of personnel changes. Unashamedly grown-up, the songwriting on these songs is mature, confident and, crucially, utterly memorable. It’s a terrible burden, but the band wear it with unpretentious dignity. ‘You Chose These Woes’ is ultimately a superbly realised set of songs in which ordinary people search for connections and meaning through the power of great songs. Beautifully simple. That’s a rare thing.
