Memoryhouse "The Years" LP
Ontario, Canada's Memoryhouse are a fairly
recent musical outlet having started about five
or so years back. This creative outfit consists of the dual effort of artists
Evan Abeele & Denise Nouvion. Originally this project was intended to be a collaboration
between film, photography, & music. This entity eventually evolved into a
different state, while still retaining the essence of these elements. On
their first recording, “The Years,” one can't help but be enticed by the
dream-like reveries captured by Nouvion's silken voice & Abeele's liquid
rhythms. When you listen to tracks like “Lately” you can imagine yourself
drifting with the tide as memories past flutter behind your closed eyelids. As
for songs like “Sleep Patterns” or “To The Lighthouse,” the poetry of the
lyrics create vivid pictures of emotion through nature, surreal imagery, &
everyday occurrences. A somber sense of nostalgia is felt in each word
as it's beautifully backed by the calm melodies that flow in their wake. So on
a closing note, Memoryhouse's “The Years” will sooth listeners senses into a
surreal pillow of clouds, as they gently float above a calm sea of dreams.
