Memoryhouse

Pitchfork: How long have the two of you been recording as Memoryhouse?

Evan Abeele: About a year. Actually, it started in a different way. We were attempting to kind of do something more with ambient structure and textures, not really with pop music. The idea was to create this audio-visual project with ambient music and Denise’s photography. And so it evolved out of that into this project, in which we were beginning to record pop songs. It’s been a year since we started doing that and kind of just refining our aesthetic, learning to write pop music as we went along.

Memoryhouse, from Ontario, Canada, released a free EP, The Years (.RAR), earlier this year. A 7″ single for their song “Lately (Deuxieme)” came out on the Inflated label in June and both sides of that (title track and remix) are posted above. The video for the Jon Brion-sampling a-side is below too. Another version of that single “Lately (Troisième),” a “stripped-down arrangement that they’d been rehearsing for a live acoustic performance (via GvB),” is also above. They have an LP, Looms of Youth, due later this year.

Memoryhouse are touring Europe this summer, and afterwards will be in NYC (preumably as part of a larger tour) to play a Wednesday, August 11th show at Mercury Lounge (the rest of the bill is still TBA). Tickets are on sale now.
