Memory Tapes : Graphics (Re-model Edit)
.jpg)
Released: 28th January 2010
Label: Something In Construction
Memory Tapes, the rather wonderful collision of Weird Tapes and Memory Cassette, release their fist single since last years rather special album and “Bicycle” single (featuring a Horrors’ remix which was a great piece of disco), which turns out to be an edit of album track “Graphics”.
A slight departure from what has come before, this re-edit is far more upbeat from anything I have heard from Memory Tapes in the past. While tracks like “Bicycle” may have had groove and elements of electro to them this takes it a step further. A thumping, off-kilter beat runs through the centre of the song, while sparkling synths are offset by harmonious melodies and a rolling bassline which transfers to a more a staccato rhythm for the close.
Not necessarily “traditional” Memory Tapes then, but would we ever expect them to live up to a pre-conceived ideal or stick to one specific sound? Nope, and that’s why we love them.
