“catchy scream-along love song”

— PAPER

"powerful pop-punk ballad made all the more haunting in this stripped down version"

— NYLON

Fresh off the release of his highly anticipated single “Flames (feat. Avril Lavigne) [Acoustic]” (via Big Noise) Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter-producer and “Gen Z’s pop-punk consultant” (PAPER) MOD SUN unveils a stunning visual accompaniment for the track. 

The video, reminiscent of an MTV Unplugged session, features MOD SUN and Avril in an intimate, dimly lit wood room which sets the stage for Avril’s soft guitar strumming. They are joined by two strings players and a glockenspiel player who add sonic layers to the emotional performance.

The acoustic version of “Flames” is the first single from MOD SUN’S upcoming Internet Killed The Rockstar Deluxe album (out May 7th via Big Noise) that is sure to make an even bigger mark on the musical landscape. 

"I wanted to offer a bright side to the story and I felt like sonically I could paint that landscape through acoustic guitar and a string section," says MOD. "I wanted to make something that felt like we were performing in your living room.”

“Flames is a very special song,” says Avril Lavigne. “I love how the acoustic version turned out. It really brings another layer of emotion to the song.”

Currently, the original recording of “Flames” ft. Avril Lavigne has over 30M streams across platforms and is in the Top 20 at Alternative Radio.

The Internet Killed The Rockstar Deluxe album will feature eight new tracks including acoustic renditions of Internet Killed The Rockstar singles and original studio releases. MOD even says one of the new tracks is the best song he’s ever written. See the full tracklist below.
