Band: MODERN WOMAN
Who: London-based art-rock outfit fronted
by singer-songwriter-guitarist Sophie Harris.

Album: JOHNNY’S DREAMWORLD.
Their debut.

Press info: ‘Johnny’s Dreamworld’ represents the culmination of Modern Woman’s
journey from Sophie Harris’s early, intimate songwriting project into a full-bodied
band capable of folding post-punk, avant-garde, and folk traditions into a live
force of dynamic originality.

At its heart, the record explores the strange poetry buried within the ordinary.
Harris’s lyrics, steeped in literary detail and filmic atmosphere, draw from her
fascination with the dark underbelly of the everyday and the contradictions
of womanhood.”

TUTV: Modern Woman nail it right away with their spellbound debut. One of the
best firstborns in along time according to my eardrums and my perplexed mind.
No comfortable verse/chorus/verse/chorus song structures here. MW take us on
a knock-down-drag-out ride, zigzagging its way through 9 resounding rollercoasters.

Black Midi and Black Country, New Road rolled into
one. Puzzlingly catchy and whimsically hooking.

Sophie Harris is one hell of a performer, vocally and lyrically, who writes spine-chilling pieces of intoxicating music. Imagine Kate Bush without any sonic boundaries, backed
by a tenacious post-punk force. Beyond any doubt, one of this year’s most dazzling
records thus far.

MODERN WOMAN – Capricious London Indies Baffle With New Puzzling Brainfucker ‘NEPTUNE GIRL’

Posted on by JL

Daily electricity to load your batteries

26 February 2026

Band: MODERN WOMAN
Who: London-based art-rock outfit
fronted by songwriter Sophie Harris.

Track: NEPTUNE GIRL
Newest single from their upcoming debut LP, named
Johnny’s Dreamworld. It’ll show up on May 1st. More
info here.


Album artwork

Press info: “On ‘Neptune Girl’, morality is examined through the lens of childhood; what it means to be good or bad before you understand those words. “This was built off an image of growing up in England, playing in the roads and fields with a friend who later went up to heaven. Heaven is, I imagine, somewhere near Neptune.”

Musically it’s nostalgic yet restless, echoing the coming-of-age unease of early 2000s films like Anita and Me or My Summer of Love, where the glow of adolescence hides an undertone of anxiety.

TUTV: Sophie Harris, as she already did with Modern Woman‘s previous stunner
Dashboard Mary creeps under your skin, without asking. Her nightmarish vocality
and overall haunting presence messes with your confused mind.

Neptune Girl‘s capricious mood-swing groove has a baffling, forth and back
going, magnetism. It’s a dazzling and dumbfounding brainfucker. It’s brill.
