The Modern Electric’s sound leans into cinematic storytelling, weaving orchestral textures with pop hooks to create a vivid, movie-like listening experience. The project’s debut album in 2009 received local attention for its ambitious production from Cleveland, setting the stage for a broader reach. The official release, Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (2015), produced by Mike McCarthy (known for work with Spoon and other indie luminaries), expanded the project’s scope into more expansive, score-like compositions. An instrumental companion, Tracking: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Instrumental), followed in 2017, showcasing the project’s versatility. In 2016, Cleveland Scene awarded Best Local Album for Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, underscoring the album’s impact in the regional scene. Fans can look forward to the ongoing live presence, including the upcoming Northcoast Christmas tour date on December 20, 2025, at Beachland Ballroom, Cleveland, OH. For fans new and old, following The Modern Electric on official social channels is a great way to stay connected and get direct updates on releases and shows.
