Memory Tapes announces new album

 

It has been quite a while since we at IKRS interviews Memory Tapes, and during that interview he already mentioned a second album. It has been quite the wait since then, but now his sophomore effort has officially gotten a release date. This is the 5^th of July, and it will be released through Carpark. “It” being Player Piano, for that is what the album is called. The debut of this band was one of my personal favourite albums of that year, and I still occasionally pet the blue vinyl which is the pleasant occupant of a part of my home.

One of the tracks is called ‘Today is Our Life’. This line also featured in a press communiqué, when everyone was told that today, indeed, was our life, whereas yesterday we collectively had lived the life of Ria Mendelbaum. And from her great thanks to the people who learned something (especially repairing a sparkplug, because my God, that Ford Escort had been in a dormant state for years now). Also thanks to the person who won the lottery, that was much appreciated. Less thanks to the person who suddenly appeared on Fifth Avenue through the NY Sewage system. And to Barry Dosenbach I’ve only got one thing to say, you (censored as part of our quest to make this communiqué enjoyable for everyone).
