Instrumental stoner doom from the sunny and shadowed sides of Uri folklore, following in the nebulous footsteps of the Venediger.
Modr have been making music together in various formations for many years. The band originated as a jam side project of the blues/rap group Schiibähunt, as well as from the circle around Vierschret, where the members of Modr, together with Myriam Planzer, interpret Uri legends through storytelling and music.
Drawing from the same reservoir of myths, Modr transform these stories into instrumental stoner doom. In doing so, they explore both the light and dark sides of Uri folklore: deep guitars, heavy drums, and memorable, melodic riffs define their sound.
With their debut EP, Modr delve deep into local traditions and follow the misty traces of the Venediger. The design of the record sleeve reflects the two contrasting vinyl sides: “Schattähalb” – electronically influenced and dark – and “Sunnähalb”, recorded entirely acoustically.
