MODERNS is a Los Angeles-based synth-pop duo of Christopher Fudurich and Rosie Okumura — vintage analog instincts, raw natural vocals, and a sound that is electronic but unmistakably alive.
MODERNS is a Los Angeles-based synth-pop duo featuring Christopher Fudurich and Rosie Okumura. Fudurich is an engineer, multi-instrumentalist and analog enthusiast. As a producer, he has worked with a variety of pop artists but MODERNS is his first collaboration with his own musical output. Okumura is a songwriter, vocalist, and performer who has partnered with veteran producers. She plans to continue writing, collaborating and performing for MODERNS as her sole project.
Musically, MODERNS is synth-pop built on an organic foundation. Using vintage analog synthesizers and drum machines, and raw, natural vocals, the music is electronic but not sterile. MODERNS combine traditional and current recording methods, relying on instrumentation and singing without excessive digital manipulation. The result soars — powerful vocals are given space and depth with music that is channeled equally from retro and contemporary sounds. In essence: modern.
