Modern Holiday have arrived with something worth paying attention to. The NYC indie four-piece announced their self-titled debut album this morning alongside new single “Goodbye Grand Street,” and the combination lands with real weight. Listen here.
“Goodbye Grand Street” is a bittersweet sendoff to the Grand Street apartment where frontman Jameson Edwards lived longer than anywhere else. Late nights, rooftop parties, a music video filmed inside its walls. The song holds all of it, sitting squarely in that uncomfortable space between attachment and acceptance. It’s the kind of track that earns its emotional territory without overreaching.
The single follows “Shuttered Life,” their March debut, a quietly powerful song that balanced collective memory of 2020 with personal reflection. Two singles in, Modern Holiday are building a catalog with genuine thematic coherence.
Edwards is joined by Michael Horaz on drums, Billy Gray on bass and vocals, and Niko Siskos on guitar. Familiar faces from Bloody Your Hands, I Am The Heat, and The Vibrant Colors, they arrive here doing something grander and more introspective than their previous work suggests. The self-titled LP drops May 14th and is available for digital preorder now.
