Liverpool-via-Cumbria indie riser todd modern kicks off 2026 with 'Overgrown', a woozy, reflective single that continues to cement his reputation as one of the most exciting emerging voices in UK slacker-rock. Built on fuzzed-out guitar textures and a mantra-like chorus, the track evokes the quiet ache of passing time and places left behind.
Channelling the off-kilter warmth of artists like Alex G and Sparklehorse, 'Overgrown' feels like a patchwork of hazy memories and emotional fragments, stitched together with DIY charm. “I’m overgrown,” modern repeats throughout, letting the phrase bloom into something melancholic and oddly comforting.
Following support from BBC Introducing, Far Out Magazine, and God Is In The TV, plus festival appearances and tour dates with Babyshambles and Modern Nature, todd modern is fast becoming a name to watch in the UK’s new alt-rock underground.
