MEMORIALS – the duo of Verity Susman (Electrelane) and Matthew Simms (It Hugs Back/Wire) – have announced their debut album, Memorial Waterslides. It’s set to arrive on October 4 via Fire Records. It includes the recently released single ‘Acceptable Experience’, as well as a new song, ‘Cut Like a Diamond’. Check it out below.
“We wrote ‘Cut It Like A Diamond’ around a bass line that’s doggedly determined to stay the same throughout, with folk harmonies, shifting drum grooves and angry saxophone squalls moving relentlessly over it,” the band said in a statement. “The song is underscored by a dark sense of despair – ‘Can you hear the hum? Is there an end to loneliness?’ – and has become a highlight to play live.”
Memorial Waterslides follows two documentary soundtracks by MEMORIALS, Women Against the Bomb and Tramps!, which came out last year.
