Speak, Memory – Trails: an instrumental art-rock exploration of unrequited love

Oklahoma-residing alt-indie artist, Speak, Memory are set to release their highly-anticipated EP ‘Adirondack’, which allows the listener to see the beauty in shared experiences – no matter how harrowing they may be to endure on a personal level.
‘Trails’ is the first of three singles on the live-recorded EP to explore the torrid emotions surrounding unrequited love through instrumentals alone. After waves of spiritual reverb ease you into the soundscape, angular jangly indie-pop guitars start to cut through the accordance until the track builds up an all-consuming wall of guitars that could rival My Bloody Valentine’s sonic constructions.
It’s a track that you can’t help getting caught up in, making it impossible not to get excited about the future of this artfully astute outfit.
You’ll have to wait a little longer before you can check out Adirondack for yourselves. In the meantime, head over to their official website.
