Tons of catchy hooks and vibrant synths make the new Memory Tapes disc something to be savored. One thing that has never made sense to me and that has regularly instigated irritation deep in my heart is the description of Kraftwerk as "cold" and "inhuman". I remember very well the first time I popped Trans-Europe Express into the CD player of my car when I was 18 years old and hearing that magnificent, glowingly warm synth line from the anthemic "Europe Endless" come chugging out of my speakers. Kraftwerk are clearly interested...
Frank Yang It's less accurate to say that Mark Eitzel was/is/ever shall be the frontman for American Music Club than it is to simply say Mark Eitzel is American Music Club. Over both of the band's incarnations - their original run from 1982 to 1994 and the reunion from 2004 to 2009 - Eitzel released solo records whose songbooks intersected liberally with AMC but roamed more musically, most curiously on The Ugly American , which saw him arranging old songs for traditional Greek instruments, and Candy Ass , which saw [...]
The summer of 2009, or the summer of “chillwave” as it were, was a fun, nostalgic trip for indie rock. Debuts from Neon Indian , Washed Out , and Toro Y Moi were the soundtrack to beach trip car rides and backyard parties across the country. Replete with hazy, drug-induced synths, slow-mo dance beats and submerged vocals, the chillwave sound dipped into synth-pop and dance rock while layering plenty of shoegaze sensibility on top for added dreamy effect. Needless to say, the sound worked very well. Arguably the man at the center of this scene was [...]
Memory Tapes, aka Dayve Hawk, peeled back his chillwave label on last year’s Piano Player album, attempting to construct and out and out pop record. It was so so. Now the New Jersey musician returns with a set of indulgent and luxurious electronic landscapes. Hawk has said of the new record: “discarding any ideas about genre, format or even song structure didn't feel like a liberation, more like a maze to get lost in”. It’s true - you can certainly lose the thread within each of the elongated pieces here, which, on occasion, can be a little frustrating. [...]
I apologize for the hiatus. The holiday, long-distance travel, and non-OS work tended to get in the way. But what better way to come back than to a new Memory Tapes album? I've enjoyed frontman Dayve Hawk's work since 2007, when I featured his disco-friendly Hail Social project. He remains a highly infectious and varied songwriter with Memory Tapes, where he has produced his best and most expansive works to date. Last year's Player Piano is highly recommended, in particular. Electronic pop with rock and funk influences indicate Memory Tapes' primary sound, with Hawk's disco [...]
Memory Tapes gets a bit less "chillwave" on his latest "LP" Grace/Confusion (LP in quotes because not sure how 6 songs can be considered an LP...but i digress). He's added in a good amount of aching guitar lines and heavy bass breakdowns which has resulted in a much more broad range of styles throughout the album, keeping things interesting and less bedroom-y. You can stream the whole album over at pitchfork , but i've embedded what I consider the standout track "Sheila", which starts off with a light piano (organ?) [...]

Memory Tapes – Grace/Confusion Review
It's about to get weird in the club. Carpark, 2012 7.8 / 10.0 I’m operating under the assumption that Grace/Confusion , the new album by one-man act Memory Tapes , is Dayve Hawk’s tribute to the inherent joys and faults of being consistently awkward. This is an electronic [...]

Deconstructing: Memory Tapes And Life Beyond Chillwave
How does the word "chillwave" make you feel in the waning weeks of 2012? If it doesn't make you say "huh?" it probably makes you say "ugh." We all have a different tolerance for contrived trend genres - for some, the gag reflex is triggered the moment a buzzword is coined; others got so wasted on freak-folk that the hangover caused them to sleep through shitgaze entirely - but no matter how long we put up with these forced associations, they all expire eventually. Chris Weingarten's 2009 Village Voice piece " The Decade In Genre Hype " is [...]

Unlocked: Download Memory Tapes’ “Neighborhood Watch”
When his latest release was first announced this fall, Dayve Hawk called his one-man electronica project Memory Tapes "pop music field recordings." This sums up what he does perfectly, and in a number of ways. We'll dig into those ways all week as we explore Grace / Confusion in Unlocked, The Key's regular spotlight on ... Continue reading

Listening Ahead: Upcoming Releases for December 2012 and January 2013
The record release schedule might go on holiday break during December, but there are some eagerly anticipated albums that aren't deluxe boxsets. And things heat up quickly in January. While the record release schedule basically goes on vacation for the holidays, that doesn't mean everything that comes out before Christmas is an overpriced boxset or a pop-hit stocking-stuffer. December may not boast a lot of new releases, but there are at least a few eagerly anticipated albums, like Scott Walker's goosebumpy art-rock epic Bish Bosch and Big Boi's long-awaited (and oft-delayed) Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors. And there are [...]
