NEW FIRE SIGNING MEMORIALS, THE DUO CONSISTING OF VERITY SUSMAN AND MATTHEW SIMMS (PREVIOUSLY OF ELECTRELANE AND WIRE), REVEAL THEIR DEBUT ALBUM ‘MEMORIAL WATERSLIDES’ SET FOR RELEASE ON 4TH OCTOBER.
Following their acclaimed 2023 soundtracks ‘Women Against The Bomb’ and ‘Tramps!’, a European tour with Stereolab (they’ve been called “Stereolab’s evil twin”) and a new music commission from the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Verity and Matthew arrived at MEMORIALS in reverse, escaping their soundtracking day jobs to create cosmic journeys through the garden shed into psychedelic rock, far-out folk and wild analogue electronics.
“Exciting and unpredictable” THE GUARDIAN
“Engagingly eclectic” UNCUT
“Divinely tuneful yet confrontational” THE WIRE
“Everything you’d expect from a duo adept in the strange and esoteric, while also in thrall to pop music’s melodic bent.” THE QUIETUS
