hallucinatory art pop / Canterbury, UK / Fire Records

Dubbed “Stereolab’s evil twin” during a joint tour, MEMORIALS came into being when two film-music composers met: Verity Susman and Matthew Simms, former members of Electrelane and Wire.

Since then, the duo has developed a distinctive, surreal pop sound, where melody meets experimentation and the avant-garde. Drawing on both familiar sounds and stranger territory, MEMORIALS creates music that is at once timeless and resolutely oriented toward new horizons.

Imagine Nico singing on a baroque pop record made with CAN: the duo takes us on cosmic odysseys between psychedelic rock, experimental folk and waves of analog electronics, all carried by the free spirit of free jazz.

With sounds that seem to come straight from a forgotten classic, MEMORIALS absorbs its influences to shape a musical world that belongs to the band alone. A distinctive sound crafted using analog recording techniques, tape recorders and vintage effects.

Listen:

THEY LOVED IT

“Colorful art pop and bold psychedelic rock, steeped in an immersive, experimental atmosphere.” - KEXP
