The Dream of a Modern Day

The long-anticipated debut album from Mahogany, 'the Dream of a Modern Day,' issues forth to a welcome public after a succession of well-received records. Since 1996, the group's music has been praised by the likes of NME, Alternative Press, and even John Peel. Andrew Prinz formed Mahogany in 1995. Influenced by both the austerity of early Factory records as well as the grandeur of the dream-laden Cocteau Twins, Prinz created the signature Mahogany aesthetic that combines the robotics of drum machines with the delicacy of richly reverbed guitars, cello, and floating vocals.

The Dream of a Modern Day is Mahogany's progressive, optimistic idealism made manifest. Brilliantly composed, skillfully arranged, and thoroughly expressive (from the lulling 'Anais no.4,' to the aptly titled 'Optimism,' which speeds with futuristic hope). Now based in NYC and featuring the new lineup of Prinz with singer/guitarist Lorraine Lelis a nd programmer Robert Pietrusko, work continues on the second Mahogany album.
