"Fall in love / With a fiction that you found on the internet / It’s the trendy thing to do..."
On the multi-threat "Tabletops", by Brooklyn based Modern Diet, the exquisitely moving and beautiful lead guitar break outro by Bernardo Ochoa* is ALONE, all by itself, worth the price of admission but there is so much more to be entranced by. Like the somber beat and happy tambourine embellishments or the shifting sound of the acoustic guitar and the pearly lead guitar hugs and kisses that at times feel George Harrison-esque and at other times like an amalgam of Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton or the gorgeous tender melancholia of the vocals and supporting harmonies. Modern Diet's songwriting prowess is the good side of pop, the artful side of tenderness up their with luminaries like Electric Light Orchestra (Jeff Lynne), Paul Simon and others.
The band shares:
The song is about expectations learned by repetition... But it’s also about breaking through the tedium by making something beautiful.
“Mixing pictures on a tabletop, a splinter in monotony…”
