    The is the first album of the band after a big pause and reunion. It's nothing special really, it could maybe appeal to retro-indie rock fans but that's about it. The songs are somewhat catchy and there is a 90s vibe to them but that is also the problem as they are not really suited for todays' market. Light 6 from me.

    Wener treats the new Sleeper songs as a series of short stories, and that gives The Modern Age its true spine, helping it escape the clutches of nostalgia.

    She [Louise Wener] sounds more at ease in her delivery, and the knowhow is natural. On occasion with their less successful single releases you felt Sleeper were trying a bit too hard, but here it is refreshingly instinctive. The addition of more power to the lower end is very welcome too.

    The Modern Age is craftily frontloaded, rattling impatiently through the most immediate tracks and building up a steam of goodwill before slowing the tempo with the gentle experimentation of the title track.
