Music From Memory are excited to introduce another new group for 2021, this time presenting the self-titled debut album from Loveshadow.Currently based in San Francisco, the duo of Anya and Izaak initially met whilst working in an Oakland cafe in 2016. The two Californians quickly bonded over a track by the ’80s disco band Aurra which was playing over the radio and almost immediately their separate journeys in music became interwoven. They soon began to write music and creating their own work would become a way for the pair to get closer to the sound they were searching for, as well as enabling them to discover the healing power of making and listening to music.‘Loveshadow’ was recorded predominantly in the Bay Area between 2017-2020 as well as whilst traveling to NYC, Chicago and around Portland. Having released previously as the outfit ‘S Transporter’ alongside Detroit friend Ryan Spencer, Loveshadow is formed of Anya as singer and song writer alongside Izaak on synthesizers, bass and percussion. This eight track album is the duo’s first release; exploring emotive Pop and DIY Funk leanings it stands as a joyful homage to the music they bond over, as well as an ode to their own love and friendship.

Some Bias by Some ExerciseSome Exercise est le projet solo du producteur et multi-instrumentiste Sam Pichonsky. Après avoir joué de la basse dans le trio art-rock, Parapet, Pichonsky a déménagé à Toronto en 2019 et a commencé à faire des démos. Il trouve ses influences chez des artistes disco-mutants et no-wave comme James Chance et Come On.‘Some Bias’ parcourt un territoire sonore dense, trouvant un groove unique quelque part entre Neu et Gang of Four. Partiellement enregistrée sur un magnétophone cassé, l'ambiance du morceau est caverneuse et névrotique, tandis qu'un rythme 3/4 vif prépare le terrain pour les mosh pits et les mouvements de danse maladroits.Les coups de guitare nerveux du morceau sont sans aucun doute un clin d'œil au son art-punk étrange souvent associé à la ville natale de l'artiste, Calgary, qui a produit des artistes comme Women et Telstar Drugs.Le texte tourne autour des connexions entre l'identité individuelle et l'occupation de l'espace physique. "La chanson elle-même est une tentative de traiter la façon dont votre image de soi peut se déformer après avoir passé du temps dans un nouvel endroit", explique Sam Pichonsky, le principal auteur-compositeur du groupe.Pour combler vos envies de musique expérimentale, ce maxi-single inclut une pièce exclusive intitulée Tick Soup.Musique par Sam PichonskyEnregistré à Toronto et CalgaryLa face A a été mixé par Jason Balla (Earringusa)
