Info for Modern World

"Modern World" is the second album from 26-year-old Iowa native Max Jury. The follow up to 2016’s critically acclaimed, self-titled debut, ‘Modern World’ is a graceful, sophisticated and truly contemporary body of work, brimming with Jury’s vast and eclectic range of influences. It is an album about life, friendship and facing each day with a renewed clarity. Produced by four time Grammy nominated Robin Hannibal (Kendrick Lamar, The Internet, Jessie Ware, Anderson .Paak), the album is steeped in soul and jazz influences. The stunning ‘Stillness’ for example, arrives with a bassline that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Thundercat record. ‘Fading Out of You’ manages to evoke Jury’s newly chosen home of Paris before a huge RnB beat comes in, complimented perfectly by the warmth and subtlety of his vocal, which since his debut, has grown into an androgynous instrument that dances across his music.

Max Jury
Growing up in Des Moines, Iowa, Max writes, sings, plays guitar and piano, and has a voice like no other. The singer songwriter released his stunning self-titled debut album to critical acclaim with breakthrough hit ‘Numb’ and tours with the likes of Lana Del Rey and Rufus Wainwright. The follow up ‘Modern World’ was a musical departure from his first record. he became intoxicated with jazz musicians, particularly vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald, Johnny Hartman and Chet Baker along with the incredible musicianship of the likes of John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Donald Byrd. Those influences filter into ‘Modern World’ alongside more contemporary touchstones such as Phoebe Bridgers and the electronic pop production values of Kanye West.
