Alan Braxe is giving away his new EP 'One More Chance' and to us, it sounds striking similar to Alex Gopher's recent single, in that it's retro, slow, poignant and is led by vocals - from Parisian band The Spimes - which at times sound a bit like a transvestite Enya tribute act. Thankfully, Twitter's arch enemy, Lifelike, sets his remix against a reassuringly familiar 4/4 beat, he then begins to cut and slice the vocal against warm synths and some pretty poor scratching - not cool - but once the main drive hits again [...]
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

The Autumn Reel mix features twenty-four minutes of unreleased material, previews of the new album, and various remix work ... Continue reading
Beach Fossils offshoot DIIV drew a lot of buzz earlier this year with haze-wave album Oshin . Dreampop artist Memory Tapes got his hands on album track "Follow" and layered the track into a fast-beat, shimmering affair complete with some satisfying guitar work towards the end. Grab it below. MP3 : DIIV - Follow (Memory Tapes Remix)
Dayve Hawk must be a mind-reader. Feels like, whenever I begin to wonder what his famously-insular electropop project Memory Tapes is up to - boom, he re-emerges with a new remix, a cryptic tweet, or something showing that yes, he is still out there and musically active. Today was a good one - "After 2nd ... Continue reading
The first hint that My Great Ghost might be quite special comes when you hear how they met: at the New York studio of Philip Glass , where Trevor Gureckis works as Glass's musical assistant and Drew Smith at his publishing company. Musical assistant to one of the most respected and influential living composers? Yeah, probably a good thing. Admittedly, the two aren't making music that you would immediately jump to compare to that of Glass; instead of minimal repetition, they stick to more conventionally pop-oriented electronica. That said, it's definitely [...]
It's become sort of customary for Davye Hawk, mastermind of Philly by-way-of Jersey electropop project Memory Tapes, to lay low and keep quiet until he has something new to blow everyone's mind with. A trippy new video, say. Or a cover of Air France's "It Feels Good To Be Around You," in memory of the ... Continue reading

There's not much we can add to above description by Jensen Sportag of their latest remix. So, instead of trying to match their graceful description with inadequate words, we'll just let you listen to the track...
Dayve Hawk, AKA Memory Tapes has an EP of all new songs for free that he's released as a mixtape. On Modular People he says: "I find I listen to mixtapes more than albums a lot of the time, so I wanted to make a new record in the form of a mixtape instead of a single or EP etc. It's all new, original Memory Tapes stuff just put together in the form of an extended mix." Download the mixtape here . (To download and save, right [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. Hauntingly beautiful and calmly unsettlingly. These disjointed words are the only way to describe the feelings evoked by the music video for the Memory Tapes second single 'Yes I Know'. Their debut album just dropped on July 5th. Imagine Foster the People but as a slighty more emotional and darker affair. Take a listen to their first single 'Wait In The Dark'. Huge shout out to Shea for the tip on these guys. Great stuff.

Tweet It's been over a year since Elizabeth Harper, more commonly-known as Class Actress , released her debut EP "Journal Of Ardency" to much acclaim, followed by a few remixes and some live shows but that was it. We heard nary a peep of new music from her until now with the imminent release (Oct 18th) of her debut LP "Rapprocher" via Carpark Records (the home of Cloud Nothings , Toro y Moi , Memory Tapes , and Beach [...]

Time to focus on the job. Monday Music's the weekly post where I temporarily abandon SOIWT's London-only focus... Thick Shakes - Go Back To New York Punks don't often encounter organs (not the religious kind, anyway), but Thick Shakes' rabble-rousing, armpit-dampening throwback meshes the two together in delicious delirium. The aforementioned instrument softens the otherwise 70s garage-rock squawkiness, making the record sound slightly faded and fuzzy. Go Back to New York by Thick Shakes [...]
