Synopsis

In 1965, at the Eurovision contest France Gall sang: “My heart is recorded in my grooves”. Mods plays these grooves in repeat mode, to let the echoes resonate, echoes of the eternal adolescent refrain: rage, frustration, fear.

Our take

Transposing the attitude of the 1960s working class movement from which it takes its name to an undisclosed time and place, Mods swaps out The Who for American garage-punk as its music of choice. Inspired by the Nouvelle Vague, this musical journey is replete with Hal Hartley-style musical numbers.
