Modicom first appeared in the shifting atmosphere of Adelaide’s music scene in mid-1998, when singer Nathan Korotkov and guitarist Sam Reid from local pop outfit wendyhouse, began a concentrated songwriting effort with cellist and vocalist, Zoe Barry. The three produced a unique sound that was often described as a type of 'experimental baroque'. Modicom expanded to become a five-piece, with drummer George Swallow and bassist Jed Palmer joining the band during the recording of The Icestorm, in early 1999. Now, for the first time, the Modicom time capsule has been opened for others to hear. Enjoy.
