“To Hell With Being Pure” — Louisville Trio MODISTE Casts a Glowing Silhouette in Their Video for “Shadows”

Louisville post-punk trio MODISTE released their single “Shadows,” a synth-pop track anchored by vocalist Sydney Sleadd’s cool, composed delivery over Dennis Stein’s menacing analogue synthesizers and Kyle Stallings’ restrained guitar work. The song explores themes of forbidden desire, temptation, and surrender through theatrical lyrics that frame lust as both dangerous and alluring. Directed by MODISTE and Misha Kidwell featuring dancer Minh-Tuan Nguyen, the accompanying video employs 1980s-inspired visual effects, choreography, and silhouettes. Drawing influences from Depeche Mode, Siouxsie and the Banshees, New Order, and others, the band avoids mere pastiche through strong internal chemistry. MODISTE’s full-length debut album is scheduled for August 2026, positioning them as an emerging force in contemporary darkwave and post-punk aesthetics.
