"We have a wide palette between us, our 'sound world,' Matthew Simms says of what he and Verity Susman had in mind for MEMORIALS' second album. We knew we wanted harpsichord and vibraphone. Instead of opting for computer plug-ins to mimic those instruments, they sought out studios that actually had them on hand, which led them to rural southwestern France and London, in addition to their own studio in Kent, England."
"On All Clouds Bring Not Rain, you can feel it. While still very much within that well-defined 'sound world' - a mix of '60s psych by way of '70s Düsseldorf and Cologne, verdant folk, dub, and their own previous groups - MEMORIALS have expanded their reach."
MEMORIALS released their second album, 'All Clouds Bring Not Rain,' featuring a mix of psych, folk, and dub. The duo, Verity Susman and Matthew Simms, prioritized live instrumentation, using harpsichord and vibraphone. They sought out studios with these instruments, enhancing the album's authenticity. The sound reflects influences from '60s psych and '70s Düsseldorf, while expanding their musical palette. The album is noted for its impeccable production and groovy feel, showcasing the duo's artistic vision and collaboration.
