Sounding like an unearthed classic, MEMORIALS twist their influences into their own unmistakable sound. Imagine Nico singing with Can produced by David Axelrod and you’re somewhere in the right ballpark. The record draws inspiration from a wide range of music including folk, dub, post punk, experimental tape music, 60s soul, garage rock, 70s spiritual jazz and Canterbury prog.
Verity’s distinctive, unadorned singing is a focal point of the record, moving from tender to wild. Her vocal melodies quickly become earworms, providing the tuneful heart around which the songs’ more unorthodox elements are arranged, which is where Matthew’s unconventional approach to recording and production comes to the fore.
With their adventurous arrangements, classic songwriting skills and innovative production techniques, MEMORIALS have created another mesmerising listen that’s accomplished and compelling in its unique approach yet remains dizzyingly immersive – just like their acclaimed live shows.
MEMORIALS’ new album ‘All Clouds Bring Not Rain’ is available in three Citrus Vinyl editions: Orange Vinyl Edition, Lemon Vinyl Edition (Indie Store Exclusive), Lime Vinyl Bundle which includes 4 Hand-Stamped Art Prints in Signed Sealed Envelope + Sticker Sheet (Fire + Bandcamp Exclusive) & CD.
