Memorials	Name Me "Name Me" by "Memorials"	Memorial Waterslides	Fire Records	2024	Already named (this morning) the Album of The Week on The Quietus, Memorials' "Memorial Waterslides" is a fantastic official debut. We are so excited to be interviewing them tonight on Transmissions From Echo Beach, just as their debut album reaches the Oct 4 hour of its U.K. (and world) release. ------- As for the Quietus, here's some of what they said... "Will Salmon Published 6:00am 3 October 2024 ////////// For an apparently new band, Memorials have a surprisingly long history. Verity Susman and Matthew Simms have been making and playing music together for more than fifteen years in various informal configurations all while maintaining their other projects – the much-missed Electrelane in Susman’s case, and Wire in Simms’, which he joined in 2010. Despite this protracted collaboration, the duo only settled on a firm identity in 2022 after they’d already been commissioned to work on a series of soundtracks and gig offers were coming in. ///////// A tour with kindred spirits Stereolab followed and the duo released two of those scores last year. Women Against The Bombs and Tramps! are both fine records: fascinatingly varied, frequently thrilling, but also slightly scattershot with their detours into pulsing electronica, proto-industrial and punk. They proved that Memorials can play pretty much any sort of music they like, but didn’t give too strong a hint of what their debut album proper would sound like. ///////// Just over a year later, here is that debut. Memorial Waterslides is a defiantly wonky, cryptically-titled and always intriguing LP that’s simultaneously more cohesive and far weirder than their previous releases. It’s the duo’s first music on Fire and their signing makes a lot of sense for a label that also has the likes of Jane Weaver, Vanishing Twin, and Death and Vanilla on its books – all artists that explore the same hinterlands of psych, early electronics, folk and jazz as Susman and Simms. On Memorial Waterslides the duo sound freer and freakier than Vanishing Twin’s tasteful grooves – this is as indebted to Sun Ra as it is Stereolab – but there’s still a strong vein of well-honed songcraft here. //////// ‘Acceptable Experience’ opens on a bed of warbling tape loops, following a pair of dueling basslines before Susman’s Farfisa kicks in with an organ riff reminiscent of Clinic in their eerie prime. There’s a sense of barely controlled chaos to the track as the atonal backing spills into the foreground (at one point conjuring the spirit of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop with what sounds like a TARDIS taking off) before Susman pulls the song sharply back into focus with an apparent vision of death: “Turning back to an imaginary hearse / Two white horses pulling towards the door / You’re too late to write the book!” /////////// This sense of mortality and of time running out is a central theme on the album and continues into ‘Lamplighter’ – a musically jubilant track with Simms’ drumming racing alongside the organ and a warbling mellotron. Lyrically, however, this is a ghost story – fraught and haunted, caught in a tug of war between hope and despair. It ends with Susman defiantly declaring “I want to be the one still dancing when the lights come on” but she’s already been confronted with the inevitable future: “The road awaiting us isn’t paved with gold / See the light up at the end / Then find it’s gone out.” Similarly, live favourite ‘Cut It Like A Diamond’ contrasts its lyrical gloom (“Is there an end to loneliness?”) with a riotous arrangement of looping bass, motorik percussion, and a squalling sea of saxophone, all ridden by Susman’s rising and falling vocals. ////////// ‘Name Me’ is more subdued: a brief but lovely guitar folk song that allows Susman a moment of unguarded vulnerability. It takes on a funereal tone in its second half as the organ creeps back in, heralding the start of a free jazz collapse that continues into ‘Memorial Waterslide II’..." --------- https://memorialsmusic.bandcamp.com/	*	0:01:48 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Memorials	Memorial Waterslides II	Memorial Waterslides	Fire Records	2024	[Excerpt from The Quietus "album of the week" review from this morning... "Will Salmon Published 6:00am 3 October 2024." ----------- "...the organ creeps back in, heralding the start of a free jazz collapse that continues into ‘Memorial Waterslide II’ (the first ‘Memorial Waterslide’ having been included in the Centre Pompidou EP, created in response to Louise Bourgeois’ 1992 Precious Liquids installation), the black hole at the heart of the record and a fully chaotic tape machine workout with skronking sax stopping and starting seemingly at random. This will be the point where some listeners tune out and skip to the next track, but repeated plays reveal a brooding collage that recalls Richard Youngs’ deconstructed jazz or Drew Mulholland’s eerie sonic seances.." https://memorialsmusic.bandcamp.com/	*	0:06:36 (Pop-up)
Broadcast	Please Call To Book [Demo]	Distant Call (Collected Demos 2000-2006)	Warp	2024	"Distant Call is a collection of early demos of songs that would subsequently appear as finished productions on the albums Haha Sound, Tender Buttons and The Future Crayon. The album also includes two songs discovered by James after Trish’s passing: “Come Back To Me” and “Please Call To Book”. These were her response to Broadcast’s 2006 ‘Let’s Write A Song’ project, where fans were asked to submit lyrics on a postcard which would then be worked into a finished song. Distant Call is a closing of the door on Broadcast and will be the last release from the band."	*	0:09:56 (Pop-up)
The Soundcarriers	With Us For Now	Through Other Reflections	Phosphonic	2024	"‘Through Other Reflections’ is a cosmopolitan collection brimming with sublime chamber pop melodies twinned with multiple esoteric influences such as Tropicalia, Middle Eastern psychedelic Jazz/Funk and French Library sounds. They represents how psychedelia should sound, thoroughly mind-expanding and without a hint of the turgid riffs and drawn-out guitar solos of some exponents of the genre. //////// The album does have a political edge suggesting a desire to escape from harsh realities to something more bucolic, even within a cityscape. It is at its most explicit on ‘With Us For Now’ and its lines, “You just live from this land / suck the blood while you can” show a contempt for contemporary neo-liberal morals or lack thereof, the beauty of the harmonies delivered through gritted teeth while the organ could be auditioning to play the ‘Tales of the Unexpected’ theme tune."	*	0:14:34 (Pop-up)
AUS!Funkt	Interception "Interception" by "AUS!Funkt"	My Way / Interception	Disco Devil	2024	Released Feb 1, 2024. AUS!Funkt are from Montréal, Québec, they are "an electro-art-punk/austere-disco concept. Rejecting the lyrical and musical excesses of rock, A!F combines the groove of electronic music with the aggression of post-punk. Beats seduce the body into movement, freeing it from its torpor. On top, the guitar spurts out clouds of noise, while the bass supplies the melody. The lyrics provoke the mind with their realism and repetition" AUS!Funkt (Bandcamp)	*	0:19:13 (Pop-up)
We Are Wolves	Transition "Transition" by "We Are Wolves"	NADA	Simone Records	2024	From Montréal, Québec //// One of three songs released thus far, in advance of November's full length album.

Adrian Younge	Hands Of God "Hands Of God" by "Adrian Younge"	Adrian Younge Presents Venice Dawn – Something About April II	Linear Labs	2016	About Adrian Younge: "American composer, arranger and music producer, born in 1978. Along with Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest), concert producer Andrew Lojero and industry veteran Adam Block, founded Jazz Is Dead, "a global movement lived through community and culture"" ////////// About this track "...RZA remix continues Wu-Tang’s relationship with psych-soul producer and composer Adrian Younge after fellow Clan member Ghostface Killah tapped him for [2014’s] Twelve Reasons To Die II. The Wu-Tang founder shares a remix to “Hands Of God” off of Younge’s [2015] album Something About April II. Inspired by Ennio Morricone’s score for The Hateful Eight, RZA combines twangy guitars with some arrhymthic, vivid bursts reminiscent of spoken word. Karolina and Sterelab’s Laetitia Sadier also feature on the track." /////// Lead Vocals – Karolina, Laetitia Sadier Organ [Hammond Organ], Electric Bass, Electric Guitar, Piano [Fender Rhodes Piano] // Drums – Adrian Younge // Strings – Hannah Blumenfeld // Trumpet, French Horn – Todd Simon // Voice [Chanting] – Adrian Younge, Jack Waterson // Written-By – Karolina, Laetitia Sadier		0:25:33 (Pop-up)

"About the music: Recorded at The Prince Albert in Brighton on our first UK tour, this 10 minute live progathon fuses two tracks from Tramps!, sounding very different to their recorded counterparts and featuring new material improvised and developed on tour. ///////// For those of you interested in the recorded versions of these tracks, as you may know We Live Here is on the album Music For Film: Tramps! (available on vinyl, digitally and via streaming services) and The Roxy is on the album Music For Film: Tramps! Pt. 2 (sold out on cassette and available digitally on Bandcamp).

Electrelane	Le Song "Le Song" by "Electrelane"	Rock It To The Moon	Too Pure	2005	"This complex, all encompassing collection of largely instrumental drone rock elegies and motorik epics displays a consistency more common in a band's second or third album offerings. There's not one weak track here, and more dizzying highlights than a listener has a right to expect...The cover features a merry-go-round of faded gold, framed by an ominously overcast sky. The picture succeeds in perfectly capturing one of the many strengths of this superb record; a kind of resigned, faded, downcast elegance that permeates much of the music on offer. It's there in the melancholy, hymnal grace and mournful, clockwork guitar. It's also to be found in a simple concoction of quietly descending Farfisa chords and old spy movie stylings, albeit a spy movie with a leaden, saddened heart..."		0:34:54 (Pop-up)
It Hugs Back	Big Sighs "Big Sighs" by "It Hugs Back"	Recommended Record	Safe & Sound	2013	"We are very d.i.y and practice makes perfect! I was pleased with the sound of this recording. I worked hard to make it represent the power and vibrancy of the band live. I think our recordings, when looking back, were perhaps overly worked, probably as we didn’t have the confidence we have now. We’ve been together seven years now, although scarily I’ve been making music with Paul for twice that. It’s a good aim to try and keep getting better and keep things interesting. Jack bought in these mellotron parts that really excited me and I got him to play over everything. I never thought we’d have so many string parts on a record!"		0:37:55 (Pop-up)
Wire	Off the Beach "Off the Beach" by "Wire"	Mind Hive	pinkflag	2020	"I started playing in Wire the year after the first it hugs back album, and last year I made my first record with them. Musically I feel they have helped me become a better guitarist, and as a result I feel more self-assured as a musician. Witnessing and experiencing their level of enthusiasm and commitment to their art is inspiring and I’ve definitely tried to translate and install that in to everything else I’m involved with."

MEMORIALS	Tramps! "Tramps!" by "MEMORIALS"	Music for Films: Tramps!	The State 51 Conspiracy	2023	In hindsight there’s something quaint, endearing even, about the New Romantics mentality. They were desperate to be famous, but didn’t give a hoot about making money. Today, they’d all be influencers earning thousands of pounds from brands.		0:52:19 (Pop-up)
MEMORIALS	Peacock Punk "Peacock Punk" by "MEMORIALS"	Music for Film: Tramps!	The State 51 Conspiracy	2023	Here’s a gossipy, nostalgic and really quite lovely documentary about the New Romantics, the scene best remembered for the flouncy shirts and extreme makeup, as told by some of the key players. The New Romantics (as they would never have dreamed of calling themselves) were arty kids in London in the late 70s and early 80s; the scene evolved out of punk, and was born on the dancefloor of the Blitz club in Covent Garden where Boy George worked as coat-check attendant (so he could steal out of coat pockets, apparently). The door policy was brutal – Mick Jagger got turned away. “But all the freaks got in for free.”		0:55:21 (Pop-up)
MEMORIALS	Take the Toys From the Boys	Music For Film: Women Against The Bomb	The State 51 Conspiracy	2023	"Susman leads Women Against The Bomb, her voice regularly multitracked to evoke a choir, or – more appropriately – a group of Greenham Common campers assembled defiantly around a wire mesh fence. It’s hugely affecting, and unaffected. Opening track ‘Dark Green’ gathers all the Susmans straight away, a cadre promising the Greenham military presence they’ll “keep our eyes on you” over a mournful church organ, somehow carrying a sense of regret it’s come to this. It’s a song of unity and intent, effectively conveyed." - The Quietus		0:57:36 (Pop-up)
MEMORIALS	A Guarantee of Sanity "A Guarantee of Sanity" by "MEMORIALS"	Centre Pompidou EP	MEMORIALS	2024	Commissioned by the Centre Pompidou in Paris earlier this year to create a piece of music in response to an artwork of our choice from their collection. We chose Louise Bourgeois’ 1992 installation ‘Precious Liquids’. This intimate and darkly poetic work ended up inspiring us to create five new tracks for this cassette.		0:59:43 (Pop-up)

Music behind DJ: Memorials	False Landing "False Landing" by "Memorials"	Memorial Waterslides	Fire Records	2024	"The album is awash with imagery evoking a lost future, a veiled present and a daydreamed past, each song playing a role in creating a swirling, widescreen atmosphere, the listener taken along for the ride. Produced entirely by the two of them, the sound of the record was inspired by the reel-to-reel tape experiments they first played around with onstage as they began to develop their multi-layered recordings for live performances as a duo." https://memorialsmusic.bandcamp.com/	*	1:33:31 (Pop-up)
Jane Weaver	Univers (MEMORIALS Remix)	Univers (MEMORIALS Remix) [Digital Single]	Fire Records	2024	Released Sep 16. --- "Experimental pop duo MEMORIALS, known for their fascinating mix of jazz, psychedelia, folk and electronica, have remixed Jane Weaver's Univers. //////// The duo, who release their own debut album Memorial Waterslides through Fire Records on October 4, have given the track, originally taken from Weaver's recent album Love In Constant Spectacle, a new vibrancy while retaining the underlying gentle psych and motorik feel of the original. //////// "We really enjoyed working with this song: speeding everything up, making tape loops of the vocals, extending the ending, and generally bringing a flavour of what we do in the recording of our own songs," the duo say. "Jane’s voice is so great, and building a new world for it to exist in was a treat." //////// MEMORIALS will also appear with Weaver at the legendary Trades Club in Hebden Bridge on December 14 at the end of Weaver's run of European and UK tour dates as a special end-of-year show."	*	1:39:17 (Pop-up)

The band is led by founder and multi-instrumentalist Emil Nikolaisen and has had several different musicians contribute to studio recordings and live performances. Serena-Maneesh released two studio albums before going on hiatus in 2010." //////// "Serena-Maneesh's "D.I.W.S.W.T.T.D." sorta sounds like Stereolab in its original form: This remix of the S-M 2: Abyss In B Minor track picks up on that, brings it home. Stereolab's reclamation appears on the first of a series of limited-edition S-M 12"'s with mixes of other Abyss In B Minor songs by Melchior and Lindstrøm."		1:44:23 (Pop-up)
Dom Sensitive	R&D "R&D" by "Dom Sensitive"	Leather Trim	Dinosaur City Records	2024	From the Full Length album released Sep 27, 2024. "Dom Sensitive (Wireheads, Dom & the Wizards) drops debut album Leather Trim (via Dinosaur City) ///// Dom Sensitive, the exciting new moniker from acclaimed Yartapuulti/Port Adelaide musician Dom Trimboli (Wireheads, Dom & the Wizards and Critical Energy), releases his highly anticipated debut album Leather Trim... ...Dom Sensitive isn't just a name change; it's an utterly captivating, hyper-stylised and at times completely bizarre revolution from a prolific artist whose impressive back-catalogue of recorded material spans over a decade. Inspired by patchwork hip-hop production, autobiographical fiction and heart-on-ya-sleeve psychedelia, Leather Trim is laden with streams of sentimental sentences, loopy mechanical junk-yard rhythms, wacky samples, wayward pianos, abundant studio trickery and oceans of tape echo. Including singles 'R&D' and 'Flowers (Original)'... ...Fuelled by late nights at Milestone Studios on Peramangk Country in the Adelaide Hills with good friend and collaborator Tom Spall (The High Beamers, Body Horror), debut album Leather Trim was carefully created one track at a time. “[Tom and I would] routinely enter the studio after dark, reappearing again for breakfast with a newly completed track. We repeated this process until we had more or less filled a 12-inch LP to the brim,” Dom shares."	*	1:47:48 (Pop-up)

Memorials	Name Me "Name Me" by "Memorials"	Memorial Waterslides	Fire Records	2024	Already named (this morning) the Album of The Week on The Quietus, Memorials' "Memorial Waterslides" is a fantastic official debut. We are so excited to be interviewing them tonight on Transmissions From Echo Beach, just as their debut album reaches the Oct 4 hour of its U.K. (and world) release. ------- As for the Quietus, here's some of what they said... "Will Salmon Published 6:00am 3 October 2024 ////////// For an apparently new band, Memorials have a surprisingly long history. Verity Susman and Matthew Simms have been making and playing music together for more than fifteen years in various informal configurations all while maintaining their other projects – the much-missed Electrelane in Susman’s case, and Wire in Simms’, which he joined in 2010. Despite this protracted collaboration, the duo only settled on a firm identity in 2022 after they’d already been commissioned to work on a series of soundtracks and gig offers were coming in. ///////// A tour with kindred spirits Stereolab followed and the duo released two of those scores last year. Women Against The Bombs and Tramps! are both fine records: fascinatingly varied, frequently thrilling, but also slightly scattershot with their detours into pulsing electronica, proto-industrial and punk. They proved that Memorials can play pretty much any sort of music they like, but didn’t give too strong a hint of what their debut album proper would sound like. ///////// Just over a year later, here is that debut. Memorial Waterslides is a defiantly wonky, cryptically-titled and always intriguing LP that’s simultaneously more cohesive and far weirder than their previous releases. It’s the duo’s first music on Fire and their signing makes a lot of sense for a label that also has the likes of Jane Weaver, Vanishing Twin, and Death and Vanilla on its books – all artists that explore the same hinterlands of psych, early electronics, folk and jazz as Susman and Simms. On Memorial Waterslides the duo sound freer and freakier than Vanishing Twin’s tasteful grooves – this is as indebted to Sun Ra as it is Stereolab – but there’s still a strong vein of well-honed songcraft here. //////// ‘Acceptable Experience’ opens on a bed of warbling tape loops, following a pair of dueling basslines before Susman’s Farfisa kicks in with an organ riff reminiscent of Clinic in their eerie prime. There’s a sense of barely controlled chaos to the track as the atonal backing spills into the foreground (at one point conjuring the spirit of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop with what sounds like a TARDIS taking off) before Susman pulls the song sharply back into focus with an apparent vision of death: “Turning back to an imaginary hearse / Two white horses pulling towards the door / You’re too late to write the book!” /////////// This sense of mortality and of time running out is a central theme on the album and continues into ‘Lamplighter’ – a musically jubilant track with Simms’ drumming racing alongside the organ and a warbling mellotron. Lyrically, however, this is a ghost story – fraught and haunted, caught in a tug of war between hope and despair. It ends with Susman defiantly declaring “I want to be the one still dancing when the lights come on” but she’s already been confronted with the inevitable future: “The road awaiting us isn’t paved with gold / See the light up at the end / Then find it’s gone out.” Similarly, live favourite ‘Cut It Like A Diamond’ contrasts its lyrical gloom (“Is there an end to loneliness?”) with a riotous arrangement of looping bass, motorik percussion, and a squalling sea of saxophone, all ridden by Susman’s rising and falling vocals. ////////// ‘Name Me’ is more subdued: a brief but lovely guitar folk song that allows Susman a moment of unguarded vulnerability. It takes on a funereal tone in its second half as the organ creeps back in, heralding the start of a free jazz collapse that continues into ‘Memorial Waterslide II’..." --------- https://memorialsmusic.bandcamp.com/	*	0:01:48 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Memorials	Memorial Waterslides II	Memorial Waterslides	Fire Records	2024	[Excerpt from The Quietus "album of the week" review from this morning... "Will Salmon Published 6:00am 3 October 2024." ----------- "...the organ creeps back in, heralding the start of a free jazz collapse that continues into ‘Memorial Waterslide II’ (the first ‘Memorial Waterslide’ having been included in the Centre Pompidou EP, created in response to Louise Bourgeois’ 1992 Precious Liquids installation), the black hole at the heart of the record and a fully chaotic tape machine workout with skronking sax stopping and starting seemingly at random. This will be the point where some listeners tune out and skip to the next track, but repeated plays reveal a brooding collage that recalls Richard Youngs’ deconstructed jazz or Drew Mulholland’s eerie sonic seances.." https://memorialsmusic.bandcamp.com/	*	0:06:36 (Pop-up)
Broadcast	Please Call To Book [Demo]	Distant Call (Collected Demos 2000-2006)	Warp	2024	"Distant Call is a collection of early demos of songs that would subsequently appear as finished productions on the albums Haha Sound, Tender Buttons and The Future Crayon. The album also includes two songs discovered by James after Trish’s passing: “Come Back To Me” and “Please Call To Book”. These were her response to Broadcast’s 2006 ‘Let’s Write A Song’ project, where fans were asked to submit lyrics on a postcard which would then be worked into a finished song. Distant Call is a closing of the door on Broadcast and will be the last release from the band."	*	0:09:56 (Pop-up)
The Soundcarriers	With Us For Now	Through Other Reflections	Phosphonic	2024	"‘Through Other Reflections’ is a cosmopolitan collection brimming with sublime chamber pop melodies twinned with multiple esoteric influences such as Tropicalia, Middle Eastern psychedelic Jazz/Funk and French Library sounds. They represents how psychedelia should sound, thoroughly mind-expanding and without a hint of the turgid riffs and drawn-out guitar solos of some exponents of the genre. //////// The album does have a political edge suggesting a desire to escape from harsh realities to something more bucolic, even within a cityscape. It is at its most explicit on ‘With Us For Now’ and its lines, “You just live from this land / suck the blood while you can” show a contempt for contemporary neo-liberal morals or lack thereof, the beauty of the harmonies delivered through gritted teeth while the organ could be auditioning to play the ‘Tales of the Unexpected’ theme tune."	*	0:14:34 (Pop-up)
AUS!Funkt	Interception "Interception" by "AUS!Funkt"	My Way / Interception	Disco Devil	2024	Released Feb 1, 2024. AUS!Funkt are from Montréal, Québec, they are "an electro-art-punk/austere-disco concept. Rejecting the lyrical and musical excesses of rock, A!F combines the groove of electronic music with the aggression of post-punk. Beats seduce the body into movement, freeing it from its torpor. On top, the guitar spurts out clouds of noise, while the bass supplies the melody. The lyrics provoke the mind with their realism and repetition" AUS!Funkt (Bandcamp)	*	0:19:13 (Pop-up)
We Are Wolves	Transition "Transition" by "We Are Wolves"	NADA	Simone Records	2024	From Montréal, Québec //// One of three songs released thus far, in advance of November's full length album.

Adrian Younge	Hands Of God "Hands Of God" by "Adrian Younge"	Adrian Younge Presents Venice Dawn – Something About April II	Linear Labs	2016	About Adrian Younge: "American composer, arranger and music producer, born in 1978. Along with Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest), concert producer Andrew Lojero and industry veteran Adam Block, founded Jazz Is Dead, "a global movement lived through community and culture"" ////////// About this track "...RZA remix continues Wu-Tang’s relationship with psych-soul producer and composer Adrian Younge after fellow Clan member Ghostface Killah tapped him for [2014’s] Twelve Reasons To Die II. The Wu-Tang founder shares a remix to “Hands Of God” off of Younge’s [2015] album Something About April II. Inspired by Ennio Morricone’s score for The Hateful Eight, RZA combines twangy guitars with some arrhymthic, vivid bursts reminiscent of spoken word. Karolina and Sterelab’s Laetitia Sadier also feature on the track." /////// Lead Vocals – Karolina, Laetitia Sadier Organ [Hammond Organ], Electric Bass, Electric Guitar, Piano [Fender Rhodes Piano] // Drums – Adrian Younge // Strings – Hannah Blumenfeld // Trumpet, French Horn – Todd Simon // Voice [Chanting] – Adrian Younge, Jack Waterson // Written-By – Karolina, Laetitia Sadier		0:25:33 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Memorials	We Live Here (Live in Brighton May 20 2023)	MEMORIMAIL Giveaway No. 1	Self Released	2023	"From: MEMORIALS Date: Fri, Sep 22, 2023, 8:15 a.m. Subject: MEMORIMAIL Giveaway No.1 ------- MEMORIMAIL Giveaway No. 1 is here! "About the music: Recorded at The Prince Albert in Brighton on our first UK tour, this 10 minute live progathon fuses two tracks from Tramps!, sounding very different to their recorded counterparts and featuring new material improvised and developed on tour. ///////// For those of you interested in the recorded versions of these tracks, as you may know We Live Here is on the album Music For Film: Tramps! (available on vinyl, digitally and via streaming services) and The Roxy is on the album Music For Film: Tramps! Pt. 2 (sold out on cassette and available digitally on Bandcamp). We have plans to re-release Tramps! Pt. 2 on another physical format later this year and we’ll give you the heads-up here first when that is happening." ////////// Thanks for listening — Verity & Matthew ////////////////// This track is only available to MEMORIMAIL subscribers.

Electrelane	Le Song "Le Song" by "Electrelane"	Rock It To The Moon	Too Pure	2005	"This complex, all encompassing collection of largely instrumental drone rock elegies and motorik epics displays a consistency more common in a band's second or third album offerings. There's not one weak track here, and more dizzying highlights than a listener has a right to expect...The cover features a merry-go-round of faded gold, framed by an ominously overcast sky. The picture succeeds in perfectly capturing one of the many strengths of this superb record; a kind of resigned, faded, downcast elegance that permeates much of the music on offer. It's there in the melancholy, hymnal grace and mournful, clockwork guitar. It's also to be found in a simple concoction of quietly descending Farfisa chords and old spy movie stylings, albeit a spy movie with a leaden, saddened heart..."		0:34:54 (Pop-up)
It Hugs Back	Big Sighs "Big Sighs" by "It Hugs Back"	Recommended Record	Safe & Sound	2013	"We are very d.i.y and practice makes perfect! I was pleased with the sound of this recording. I worked hard to make it represent the power and vibrancy of the band live. I think our recordings, when looking back, were perhaps overly worked, probably as we didn’t have the confidence we have now. We’ve been together seven years now, although scarily I’ve been making music with Paul for twice that. It’s a good aim to try and keep getting better and keep things interesting. Jack bought in these mellotron parts that really excited me and I got him to play over everything. I never thought we’d have so many string parts on a record!"		0:37:55 (Pop-up)
Wire	Off the Beach "Off the Beach" by "Wire"	Mind Hive	pinkflag	2020	"I started playing in Wire the year after the first it hugs back album, and last year I made my first record with them. Musically I feel they have helped me become a better guitarist, and as a result I feel more self-assured as a musician. Witnessing and experiencing their level of enthusiasm and commitment to their art is inspiring and I’ve definitely tried to translate and install that in to everything else I’m involved with."

MEMORIALS	Tramps! "Tramps!" by "MEMORIALS"	Music for Films: Tramps!	The State 51 Conspiracy	2023	In hindsight there’s something quaint, endearing even, about the New Romantics mentality. They were desperate to be famous, but didn’t give a hoot about making money. Today, they’d all be influencers earning thousands of pounds from brands.		0:52:19 (Pop-up)
MEMORIALS	Peacock Punk "Peacock Punk" by "MEMORIALS"	Music for Film: Tramps!	The State 51 Conspiracy	2023	Here’s a gossipy, nostalgic and really quite lovely documentary about the New Romantics, the scene best remembered for the flouncy shirts and extreme makeup, as told by some of the key players. The New Romantics (as they would never have dreamed of calling themselves) were arty kids in London in the late 70s and early 80s; the scene evolved out of punk, and was born on the dancefloor of the Blitz club in Covent Garden where Boy George worked as coat-check attendant (so he could steal out of coat pockets, apparently). The door policy was brutal – Mick Jagger got turned away. “But all the freaks got in for free.”		0:55:21 (Pop-up)
MEMORIALS	Take the Toys From the Boys	Music For Film: Women Against The Bomb	The State 51 Conspiracy	2023	"Susman leads Women Against The Bomb, her voice regularly multitracked to evoke a choir, or – more appropriately – a group of Greenham Common campers assembled defiantly around a wire mesh fence. It’s hugely affecting, and unaffected. Opening track ‘Dark Green’ gathers all the Susmans straight away, a cadre promising the Greenham military presence they’ll “keep our eyes on you” over a mournful church organ, somehow carrying a sense of regret it’s come to this. It’s a song of unity and intent, effectively conveyed." - The Quietus		0:57:36 (Pop-up)
MEMORIALS	A Guarantee of Sanity "A Guarantee of Sanity" by "MEMORIALS"	Centre Pompidou EP	MEMORIALS	2024	Commissioned by the Centre Pompidou in Paris earlier this year to create a piece of music in response to an artwork of our choice from their collection. We chose Louise Bourgeois’ 1992 installation ‘Precious Liquids’. This intimate and darkly poetic work ended up inspiring us to create five new tracks for this cassette.		0:59:43 (Pop-up)

Music behind DJ: Memorials	False Landing "False Landing" by "Memorials"	Memorial Waterslides	Fire Records	2024	"The album is awash with imagery evoking a lost future, a veiled present and a daydreamed past, each song playing a role in creating a swirling, widescreen atmosphere, the listener taken along for the ride. Produced entirely by the two of them, the sound of the record was inspired by the reel-to-reel tape experiments they first played around with onstage as they began to develop their multi-layered recordings for live performances as a duo." https://memorialsmusic.bandcamp.com/	*	1:33:31 (Pop-up)
Jane Weaver	Univers (MEMORIALS Remix)	Univers (MEMORIALS Remix) [Digital Single]	Fire Records	2024	Released Sep 16. --- "Experimental pop duo MEMORIALS, known for their fascinating mix of jazz, psychedelia, folk and electronica, have remixed Jane Weaver's Univers. //////// The duo, who release their own debut album Memorial Waterslides through Fire Records on October 4, have given the track, originally taken from Weaver's recent album Love In Constant Spectacle, a new vibrancy while retaining the underlying gentle psych and motorik feel of the original. //////// "We really enjoyed working with this song: speeding everything up, making tape loops of the vocals, extending the ending, and generally bringing a flavour of what we do in the recording of our own songs," the duo say. "Jane’s voice is so great, and building a new world for it to exist in was a treat." //////// MEMORIALS will also appear with Weaver at the legendary Trades Club in Hebden Bridge on December 14 at the end of Weaver's run of European and UK tour dates as a special end-of-year show."	*	1:39:17 (Pop-up)

The band is led by founder and multi-instrumentalist Emil Nikolaisen and has had several different musicians contribute to studio recordings and live performances. Serena-Maneesh released two studio albums before going on hiatus in 2010." //////// "Serena-Maneesh's "D.I.W.S.W.T.T.D." sorta sounds like Stereolab in its original form: This remix of the S-M 2: Abyss In B Minor track picks up on that, brings it home. Stereolab's reclamation appears on the first of a series of limited-edition S-M 12"'s with mixes of other Abyss In B Minor songs by Melchior and Lindstrøm."		1:44:23 (Pop-up)
Dom Sensitive	R&D "R&D" by "Dom Sensitive"	Leather Trim	Dinosaur City Records	2024	From the Full Length album released Sep 27, 2024. "Dom Sensitive (Wireheads, Dom & the Wizards) drops debut album Leather Trim (via Dinosaur City) ///// Dom Sensitive, the exciting new moniker from acclaimed Yartapuulti/Port Adelaide musician Dom Trimboli (Wireheads, Dom & the Wizards and Critical Energy), releases his highly anticipated debut album Leather Trim... ...Dom Sensitive isn't just a name change; it's an utterly captivating, hyper-stylised and at times completely bizarre revolution from a prolific artist whose impressive back-catalogue of recorded material spans over a decade. Inspired by patchwork hip-hop production, autobiographical fiction and heart-on-ya-sleeve psychedelia, Leather Trim is laden with streams of sentimental sentences, loopy mechanical junk-yard rhythms, wacky samples, wayward pianos, abundant studio trickery and oceans of tape echo. Including singles 'R&D' and 'Flowers (Original)'... ...Fuelled by late nights at Milestone Studios on Peramangk Country in the Adelaide Hills with good friend and collaborator Tom Spall (The High Beamers, Body Horror), debut album Leather Trim was carefully created one track at a time. “[Tom and I would] routinely enter the studio after dark, reappearing again for breakfast with a newly completed track. We repeated this process until we had more or less filled a 12-inch LP to the brim,” Dom shares."	*	1:47:48 (Pop-up)
