Philadelphia indie punk quartet Modern Baseball shared a documentary on the band and the making of their forthcoming third LP Holy Ghost ahead of their eagerly awaited Australian tour kicking off this week!
Directed by Kyle Thrash, who has also directed all of the band’s music videos, Tripping in the Dark is both endearingly funny and harrowingly vulnerable, providing a window into the inner workings of the young band. Holy Ghost will be released on Run For Cover Records/Cooking Vinyl Australia on May 13.
WATCH TRIPPING IN THE DARK HERE:
The first album recorded by someone other than the band themselves, Modern Baseball enlisted Joe Reinhart (Hop Along, Joyce Manor) at Headroom Studios in Philadelphia to help refine their sound on Holy Ghost. In a tight 28 minutes, Holy Ghost covers an impressive emotional range, with co-songwriters Jacob Ewald and Brendan Lukens literally splitting the record in half. The record kicks off with six songs from Ewald and ends with five from Lukens. What they ended up with was a complete record of the past two years– the highs alongside the lows, tales from the road and glorious days at home alongside songs of heartbreak and personal struggle.
