RELEASE DATE
11/3/2017
2013 release. In 2012,
Kevin Tihista
re-emerged after a seven-year hiatus with the widely acclaimed
On This Dark Street
. At the time Kevin had put aside some of his more upbeat songs that he had written for a later date. An album called
Modern Standard
was originally planned (and much delayed) to be the official follow-up to the hugely acclaimed
Wake Up Captain
(2004) and the equally well received
Home Demons Vol 1
that swiftly followed in 2005. Broken Horse present
Modern Standard
which sees Kevin returning with his most optimistic and accessible set of songs since his 2001 debut
Don't Breathe A Word
. Not that Kevin himself necessarily agrees with this assessment: "I don't think I'd ever be accused of being too optimistic. Maybe less dire? There are a few songs on the new record that do have a glimpse of hope in them though. 'The City', 'Happy People Shut Your Mouths', and 'On My Way' would be those few. For the most part, I don't let my songs get too sunny. I have
Slayer
and
Morrissey
to thank for that. I would agree that compared to
On This Dark Street
,
Modern Standard
has more pop elements to it. I'd say 'The City' pretty much makes up for every doom and gloom song I've ever written. It gave me a cavity when I wrote it." With
On This Dark Street
under his belt, Kevin and his label Broken Horse planned a much more positive record that played to his strengths and reinforced his reputation as one of America's finest songwriters.
Modern Standard
is a stunning showcase of Tihista's songwriting talents. It's an embarrassment of riches, with one great song after another, and it's not hard to imagine that each one could be a listener's favorite.
