New Track: Memoryhouse - Quiet America

This new track from Memoryhouse, ‘Quiet America’, is set to appear on their forthcoming re-recorded, re-mixed and re-mastered version of their two year old ‘The Years E.P’ which was self-released in 2009. Its just one of the new songs on this expanded edition, which we’ll see released via Sub Pop on September 13th. Their sound has always been that of sombre and glacial take on eery 90s pop music - you can hear quite clearly a ringing influence from Mercury Rev, or indeed Slowdive in its wistful guitar tones and oppressive classical orchestration. ‘Quiet America’ is even more disconsolate than usual, floating forth upon the clouded reverberant mist of piano chords in to something both dreamy and dreary simultaneously, which dies a little prematurely as it is cut painstakingly and evocatively short.
