    Inspired by a small town in the West Country, Nathan Cable and Ruth Shave tell bittersweet stories contemplating the quieter moments of people’s lives. Cormac McCarthy, Josh T. Pearson and Bruce Springsteen stand out as clear influences at the heart of this bleak documentation of fateful moments of weariness and disillusionment; violence, resilience, and hope. Cable’s modest storytelling and stark acoustic arrangements are anchored by Shave’s mellow and broad synthesizers, forming the sound of Modern Vampires. The duo has self-produced a collection of songs that resonate with an aching restlessness, and which The Wire hailed: ‘A keening edge...rural in the best of all possible ways.’ In November 2018, Modern Vampires sold out their first London headline show.

    The debut album was written and recorded over a period of ten months with only one aim in mind: to serve justice to the real people that lie behind the stories. The pair laid down ground rules at the beginning of the process, limiting themselves to a handful of instruments that would only add scope and depth to the kitchen sink drama and grey backdrops in these West Country stories, leaving the lyric at the forefront of the arrangements. In order to capture the reflectiveness and intimacy of the stories, the entire record was recorded live in bedrooms and living rooms during the small hours of the morning, using only a 4-track tape machine. The record’s raw tangibility is a result of these decisions, which challenged them to focus on the characters’ hearts and souls and deliver meaningful performances.

    Midnight Pine is a tender and quietly political collection of vignettes. ~ Lisa Henderson

lyrics

Tina can I have a teenth
morning light bleeding in
Tina can I have it all so sweet
morning in the household
I go down to the carnival

I can’t find my boy’s
I can’t find my boy’s
I can’t find my boy’s

Now come the days of begging
now come the days of theft
now come the days of walking
in a street without a home
where there walk no soul left
where there walk no soul left

I can’t find my boy’s
I can’t find my boy’s
I can’t find my boy’s

And where were you
in the middle of the night
wrapped in the arms of
a warmth so tight.
