With their trademark satire, charm, and penchant for nonstop folk pop, Modern Capitalism Gets Things Done by The Bon Scotts examines lost love, seedy friendships, the free market and summers golden promise. Continuing to push the boundaries of folk, the album uses accordion, violin, acoustic guitars, banjo, harmonica, cello, tuba, and all kinds of percussive oddities, alongside analogue synths, programmed drums, vocoders and a small symphony.
