Description
After a sold out show at The Luminaire in January, MEMORY TAPES is back to play at Cargo. A one man band based in New Jersey, he's been dropping bombs (as memory cassette and weird tapes) on Gorilla vs Bear through 2008 to huge acclaim and massive blog proliferation. His sound is nostalgic both aesthetically and emotionally - so there is little surprise when comparisons drift to outfits such as Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, New Order and Boards of Canada. More established pop references come through as well with echoes of classic Motown and girl groups. After the great reception that greeted his debut album, the ever prolific, MEMORY TAPES intends to make two albums a year, promising that the next one will a psychedelic girl group record.
GLASSER is LA resident Cameron Mesirow, who has been described as something like Kate Bush using the rhythmic influence of Arthur Russell and the emotional inflections of Karen Dalton. Her debut EP, Apply, is charmingly amateur in its Garageband production, but the heavily layered arrangements and child-like vocals have a dream-like quality.
