Im having a hard time getting any info on Memory Cassette. I know it’s got something to do with New Jersey’s Weird Tapes, but thats it. Anyone got any proper info on these soft, dreamy, lo-fi disco makers? (Oh, and that drum beat in Surfin, that has got to be from Face To Face?)
MP3: Memory Cassette - Listen To The Vacuum
The Hungry Ghosts on the other hand, I do know all about. I used to love these guys, back before they called it quits. Their dark, instrumental post-rock resonated so loudly that it grabbed the attention of Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth) who went and produced their second and finest album: Alone, Alone. You may have seen one of the Hungry Ghosts playing around town in either The Triffids, The Black Eyed Susans, or even playing guitar onstage with Cut Copy on their 2007 tour.
I love the fact that they only need to say so little to say so much.
i thought weird tapes was some sort of project/facelift off hail social, and they helped produce memory cassette’s stuff. kinda like simian/simian mobile disco or death from above ‘79/al-p/mstrkrft. weird that i can’t think of proper names though… @_@
link to their official blog at least! heh
