This was surprising to realize, but Ontario dream pop duo Memoryhouse are yet to release a full-length album. Sure, they have been on the seen a couple years, with the release of EP The Years getting them some notice and the expanding of it for Sub Pop getting them even a little more notice. But, the time has come for Evan Abeele and Denise Nouvion to offer a longer look into their sound. That time exactly will be February 28th.
Titled The Slideshow Effect, the 10-track album will be produced by Abeele, with assistance from friend, collaborator, and occasional Memoryhouse bassist Barzin Hassani Rad. The release promises to find Memoryhouse heading toward a new clarity in composition as well as sound, with influences expanding to include Emmylou Harris, Dusty Springfield and Fleetwood Mac. Sub Pop will again be the label of release, of which the songs have been amply road-tested over the past two years. We’ll keep you posted when we have our first taste of the effort.
