The Modern Lovers was never meant to be an album. It was a collection of demos, recorded in fits and starts as Jonathan Richman and his band negotiated modernity and the music industry. A collection of songs about a city and a society in flux, Richman observes a city all but abandoned by adults, ravaged aby white flight and urban renewal, veering towards anarchy as old world social moors collide with new attitudes. It is a city that stands in stark contrast to the the ranch style bedroom community where he was raised. All of these conflicts are churned through Richman's intellectual acuity and emotional unrest to create one of the 20th century's most enduring documents of post-adolescent malaise.
