DESCRIPTION
Modern Clicks (also known as Modern Clix) is the second studio album by Argentine singer and multi-instrumentalist
Charly García as a solo artist, released on November 5, 1983, by SG Discos.
Pedro Aznar, with whom Charly had previously worked in the band Serú Girán (between 1978 and 1981), participated in the
album.
Some consider this album to be the best work of Charly García's career and one of the best albums in Argentine rock. It
includes references to the Argentine civic-military dictatorship (1976-1983), which lasted until shortly before the
album's release, and features lyrics characterized by their sarcastic and humorous tone. It was a pivotal work in
consolidating the modern trends that would define Argentine rock during the 1980s and beyond. The album's title comes
from the cover art.
The album was self-produced and composed by García and was recorded almost entirely at Electric Lady Studios in New York
City over a short period. García hired Pedro Aznar (fretless bass) and Casey Scheuerell (drums). García initially tried
out another drummer to record the entire album; however, he wasn't satisfied with the sound and instead used a Roland TR
808 programmable drum kit, the same one he had used on the album *Yendo de la cama al living*. She decided to use it for
the entire production, almost completely replacing the drummer. Uberto Sagramoso took the cover photographs, which were
taken from Richard Hambleton's public art in New York. The music is primarily new wave, but some songs also incorporate
elements of various pop subgenres.
Generally speaking, the album received critical acclaim, although initially several critics underestimated the impact,
composition, and scope of both the record and its performer in her solo career. It appeared on several lists of the best
Latin American albums of all time, including those of Al Borde and Rolling Stone magazines. Two singles were released to
promote the album, after which García presented it at Luna Park Stadium in Buenos Aires.
