About this episode
MEMORIALS is Verity Susman (Electrelane) and Matthew Simms (Wire, Better Corners, It Hugs Back, Uuuu, Fitted). Their newest single In The Weeds is out now via Fire Records. This is their first release since the acclaimed debut album, Memorial Waterslides. The duo tell us how both film scoring and the band Sterolab brought them together and why the formation was an accident in reverse. Verity and Matthew share how their recording approach has changed and how physical space and concision play a role on the new recordings. They discuss the beauty of imperfect instruments verses digital tools and what’s right about the wrong way of creating. We learn why their lyrics don’t always come from a preconceived idea, how they translate their songs into the live performance, and we dip our ears in the new single.MEMORIALSFIRE RECORDSSPECIAL REQUEST FROM JOE ..."if you like this podcast, please subscribe and tell all your friends. also, if you love, hate or kinda sometimes like Tour Stories/The Check In, please express yourself loudly in the comments .
