Memoryhouse - When You Sleep (My Bloody Valentine Cover)(Yours Truly Session)

So it is finally here! Mixtape File #1. I hope this mix will speak for itself as, right now, office work and blogging do not mix well when the man is watching.  Damn the man!

But, download and enjoy. There’s plenty more to follow. - ramos (Jan. 5)

UPDATE 01/17/12:

Cloudy Sundays seem to always emit a nostalgic air, and while most of us who know better are licking their wounds from an evening of fun times and music, others of us wide-eyed and bushy tailed traverse through the empty street and highways listening to soft, long-ago melodies.

Mixtape File #1, set loose last year about this time, marked the beginning of our now year-long rant of what moves us and shakes us.  And a little over year since the inception, our voices in our heads still chatter and the music still plays loud and often to shut them all the hell up.     

Yet stepping onto memory lane, it seemed fitting to make some necessary adjustments to a half-assed posting.  Tagged appropriately and slipping in a photo to inspire you, we thank you for following.

Memoryhouse -The Kids Were Wrong

Go to sleep. Nothing’s changing. I’ll be right here by your side.
Tear the seems. We‘re not aging, beneath these trembling starlit skies.

Conceptually driven as a collaborative art project between photographer Denise Nouvion and producer/ composer Evan Adeele, Memoryhouse has in the five years since its inception developed beyond cross-media home recordings.  Debuting in 2009 with their The Years E.P. featuring the single “To the Lighthouse” and doing extended tours through Europe and the US, the duo grossed pop acclamation and signed onto indie label Sub Pop Records (Album Leaf, Beach House, DNTEL, Ruby Suns, Washed Out).  Last September, the legendary record label even revamped and reissued the Memoryhouse debut EP (originally released under Arcade Sound), giving it a rich and produced rework. 

Preparing for the February release of their official debut LP The Slideshow Effect, Adeele and Nouvion, along with Barzin Hassani Rad (awesome name) on bass, came out with their new Memoryhouse single “The Kids Were Wrong”. 

With Sub Pop backing them, the production is crisp and concise, and although the nostalgic reverb of their original recordings falls and slips away, the aftermath presents a blossoming Nouvion, and a clean Adeele composition. Nonetheless, Memoryhouse continues to burn in our hearts with sunny sentiment and starry-eyed distinction.

Lovely.

Along with their single release, Memoryhouse also came out with their cover of “This Will Be Our Year” by band favorite The Zombies.  Enjoy this extra morsel and love them all the more.  We do and we’re happier for it.

Korallreven - Honey Mine (Memoryhouse Remix)

Earlier this year, our file-server for gift-giving took a pounding and all related Mixtape files, public and otherwise, were deleted.

Subsequently, the untimely demise of our mixtapes under the spying eye of SOPA/ PIPA left a bitter taste in our mouths.  And like sucking on one of those super fat sour balls, our faces, strained and grimaced, lingered for a hot minute with nothing much to think about except “Motha fuckers, really? Really?“

Certainly, every label should be adequately compensated but forgive us if I resent the growing disparity between our respective paychecks.  And if we promote the music and support the artists we love to people with like interests and lighter pockets without making a dime off it, then, well, I’m not sorry for it.  

It has always been the intention of this blog and its several pages to merely share and ramble on as to what moves and shakes us whilst flexing a creative muscle and titillating a wandering eye.  There is no money to be had here; no grand conspiracy;  neither leftist nor right-winged social campaigning, save the one where the slogan may read: Music saves because I couldn’t find Jesus.

How’s that for a disclaimer? Happy Sunday.
