On December 6, Los Angeles-based Blixa Sounds will release these two classic albums, remastered on vinyl LP and CD formats, with a collection of non-LP bonus tracks exclusively on the CD edition. That album spawned "I Melt With You" and brought Modern English up from the underground to the mainstream. On 1982's After the Snow, the band's sound evolved into a more commercial and radio friendly mix of synthesizers, guitars, catchy drumbeats and singer Robby Grey's unmistakable vocals. Mesh & Lace, the band's 1981 full-length debut, reveals that long before the band conquered the airwaves, it was churning out dark, moody and challenging post-punk that rivaled such peers as The Cure, Echo & the Bunnymen and their then-4AD labelmates Bauhaus. Yet Modern English was no mere one-hit wonder.
It garnered heavy rotation on the then-thriving Modern Rock radio format, MTV and dance clubs across the globe, and was featured prominently in the classic 1983 film Valley Girl, staring a young Nicholas Cage. LOS ANGELES – Simply put, "I Melt With You" by Modern English is one of the most iconic songs of the New Wave-era. POST-PUNK LEGENDS MODERN ENGLISH TO RELEASE LONG-AWAITED REISSUES OF THEIR FIRST TWO CLASSIC ALBUMS, MESH & LACE AND AFTER THE SNOW, FEATURING THE ICONIC NEW WAVE CLASSIC "I MELT WITH YOU"īoth albums have been remastered and feature brand new, re-imagined artwork by original album artist Vaughan Oliver and will be available on LP and CD formats, with non-LP bonus tracks on the CD edition.
