Universal Music under Europa Recordings, although this was short-lived as Europa Recordings was closed down. In October the group transferred back to Planet Clique for the digital release of "Discotheque Francais". The debut album, Modern Industry, was made available to download in December. It included a cover version of David Bowie's "Modern Love". In January 2008, the group released The Modern LP through Ninth Wave Records, albeit only in the US. It differed from the later UK release. Matinee Club recorded a video for the American global warming awareness show, Earth Hour. In November 2008, the group reformed as The Modern, and the drummer Rees returned to the band. Signing another record deal that covered most of Asia, the band released a double album, under the same title as their US LP, in July 2009.
