Memoryhouse – The Kids Were Wrong
Posted In Dream Pop
If you’re looking for visual music – something that paints pictures in your mind, then Memoryhouse have got a gallery of sound to stimulate your imagination.
Where the sonic soundscapes of Sigur Ros have been hijacked by the advertising industry and documentary makers to bring their images to life, Memoryhouse are a clean slate for you to fix your own soundtrack of people, places and memories. The band is a collaboration between composer Evan Abeele and photographer Denise Nouvion. They start each composition with one of Nouvion’s photographs as inspiration, and take it from there. Originally intended as an instrumental project, Denise has stepped up to the mic and adds her subtle and exquisite voice to the layers of sound inspired by the wide open spaces of their native Canada.
The Kids Were Wrong is the first video from their new album, and by far the most upbeat song on the Slideshow Effect LP. Like the rest of their work, it’s a beautiful and fragile thing.
