Lyrics:

Slugging around yet another day
Someone said I’ve changed
But I still feel the same

Lost half my accent
Why would I still have it?
Someone said I’ve changed
I guess I have in ways
But still, I’ve got my

Bad habits
Bad habits
Oh, my
Bad habits
My bad habits
Oh, my

Got myself angry again today
Man, I hoped I’d changed
But maybe I’m the same

Slouch my way through an open door
Privilege sure talks
And it knows my name
(And it knows)
And it knows my

Bad habits
Bad habits
Oh, my
Bad habits
My bad habits
Oh, my

I’m a creature of habit
Mm, I can’t hack it
I’m a creature of habit, oh no

(Bad)
Bad

Habits

Modify and make changes
Photoshop and crop the image
Permanence is scary

Following their critically acclaimed debut EP ‘You’re Welcome’, Modern Guilt have kicked off 2022 in style by announcing the release of brand new single ‘Joy Control’.

Hailed by tastemakers including John Kennedy (Radio X), praised by This Feeling as one of the ‘Best New Bands’, and championed by the likes of Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream), Shell Zenner (BBC Radio / Amazing Radio) and Rowena Alice (BBC Radio / Boogaloo Radio / Islington Radio), Modern Guilt “are re-igniting and modernising their era and genre influences in a strong flame of colour” (Listen To Discover).

‘Joy Control’ is the band’s first release following last year’s ‘You’re Welcome’ EP. Produced by long-term collaborator Mikey Buckley, the new single sits somewhere between the sounds of Motown and the New Wave scene of 1970’s New York City. While lyrically it depicts the frustrations of watching an individual, for a multitude of reasons, choose not to become someone you thought they could be.

‘Joy Control’ will be released digitally on Friday 25th February and will be accompanied by an official visualiser.

“Modern Guilt are knocking it out of the park. Their sound already has a level of maturity that makes it both distinctive and confident in it’s ambition” - Chalkpit Records

“They’re fun, gritty, and daringly infectious. We’ll be watching this band with great interest, they’re for sure going places” - Clunk Magazine

Joy Control

‘So You Think’ is a laid-back jazz track featuring some serious piano chops, swinging upright bass, and a chihuahua.

I wrote it together with my friend Becci Wallace, an amazingly talented Glaswegian artist.

’So You Think’ is our response to society’s expectations of women. To stay young and beautiful. To leave the technical stuff to the guys. As you may have guessed, we don’t think so!

I hope you’ll enjoy the track as much as we enjoyed writing it! :)

So You Think
