Modern Rock is the second studio album by New Zealand group The Clean, released in 1994.[2][3]
Critical reception
Trouser Press called the album "a more grown-up affair that floats off-kilter melodies and tiny tensile guitar in a slower, softer swirl of cloudy organ lines and spacey electric piano textures, with liberal use of strings and folk instruments."[4]
