Bio:
ModX, the AOR/West Coast project newly founded by Swedish musician Peter Eriksson, who was originally the frontman of the band Modesty in the 80s. The idea for this project dates back to 2005, and up to the present Peter has continued to compose alone intermittently over the years, while keeping an eye on current trends in the music industry. The project began in earnest in the fall of 2020. In order to make the concept he had been warming up to a reality, he wrote and added new songs to complete the album, while newly re-recording songs that had already been completed. This debut album was completed in this manner. The band has already released several songs from this album, starting with the debut single "Looking For Closure," which was released in 2021. These singles show that Peter is a talented musician, with songs ranging from up-tempo, exhilarating tunes to mellow, penetrating ballads. I would also like to add that Peter plays all the instruments on this album, with the exception of a few parts, demonstrating his versatility.
Album:
Japanese physical CD edition including 2 bonus tracks which worth the investment on this – the ‘Album of the Year’.The idea for ModX has been a work in progress for Eriksson since as far back as 2005 but often put aside temporarily over the years, due to other commitments in the music industry. By the fall of 2020 though, he finally found the time to prioritize ModX and went into the studio with some talented musicians to start the recordings of the songs penned over the years.Eriksson has sung and performed most the instruments except guitar solos and drumming, and the album is finally ready. And what an album it is! Secrets” will be on many Top 10 ‘Best Of The Year‘ lists – for us, it’s the 2023 Best AOR album so far.This is timeless AOR / Melodic Rock-spiced music crafted with attention to detail, where melody rule. Needless to say production is crystal clear, but it’s the songwriting skills what really shine here.These songs are emotional, from the heart, varied, intelligent, plenty of soaring vocals, sparkling keyboards, bright guitars – think Mr Mister, 1985 Journey, StreetTalk – all killers / no fillers.
