The Modern Folk Trio Band - Always Be Recording (2022) [Hi-Res]

Always Be Recording could be considered the central mantra of J Moss’s entire The Modern Folk concept – at this point as much a way of life as a borderless musical collective. The Modern Folk, as an ethos, is all encompassing and strives to present folk music as a vibrant, living thing. What is “folk music” if not music made by folks? Anything is folk music. Everything is folk music. The Modern Folk. When you’re always documenting life, as Moss is, it’s surprisingly easy to forget about the mics and really lean in…which is exactly what The Modern Folk Trio Band, a quintet, does here. This is music for its own sake, in its purest raw form – direct from the collective subconscious to your skulls. Always Be Recording is what happens when a group of friends and listeners get together to instinctually make sound because that’s what they do. Over the course of two longform excursions separated by a brief, contemplative solo piece, Moss & co dive right into the deep end. No beginnings, no middles, no ends, just two glimpses into zones that feel eternal. Two peeks into the infinite, which luckily for us were documented. Always Be Recording. - Joel Berk
