Feature: The Sound Of Modesty

Rising band The Sound of Modesty, known for their unique blend of Japanese inspired heavy rock and modernist electronic pop, have released their highly anticipated new single “Safe in Your Arms” on October 25th, 2024.

The Sound of Modesty is a project started by singer-songwriter Yvonne Han. Influenced strongly by experimental female artists like Mitski, Björk, and electronic pop artists like T.a.T.u and EGOIST, their blend of rock and songwriting has been quoted as being "all at once mesmerising and thought-provoking".

The emotionally charged track delves into the vulnerability and yearning experienced in a long-distance relationship, combining powerful guitar riffs with a delayed piano riff reminiscent of raindrops on a cold day. The underlying turmoil of the narrator’s simple heartfelt lyrics in combination, creates a soundscape that will resonate with listeners of all backgrounds.

Blending heavier rock elements with the intimate storytelling found in the band’s other more singer-songwriter inspired works, “Safe in Your Arms” creates an infectious memorable sound that embodies both strength and fragility. Speaking on the inspiration behind the single, songwriter Yvonne shared,"Safe in Your Arms is about a long-distance relationship, and the loneliness, yearning and self-doubt that can come from being separated.”

The release has been accompanied by an official music video directed by REEKA Studios.
