Molly Gone Mad make an ambitious debut with Modern World, a 14-track album that blends funk, soul and R&B with jazz, psychedelic textures and dancefloor-ready grooves. Confronting the anxieties of contemporary life, the trio balance social commentary with a more uplifting message centred on love, friendship and human connection.
Rather than becoming consumed by the uncertainty surrounding modern life, Molly Gone Mad channel those concerns into music that celebrates the value of living in the moment. Heavy guitars, hip-hop rhythms and expansive instrumentation give the record a fluid sonic identity, reflecting a creative approach in which musical instinct takes precedence over genre boundaries.
Recorded at London’s Angel Studios and Abbey Road Studios, Modern World represents the culmination of an extensive creative process, with producer Rocco Spaziani Testa helping the trio develop their arrangements over six months. The resulting album establishes a clear artistic direction, combining the energy of their live performances with a broader, more detailed studio sound.
With more than 200,000 streams, seven million combined social media views and performances alongside K.O.G, High Fade and Bare Jams, Molly Gone Mad arrive with growing momentum. Modern World builds on those foundations, introducing a band intent on addressing the complexities of the present without losing sight of music’s ability to bring people together.
