Memorex - Self-Discipline

Streamlining things from the trio format that I last saw, this new phase for Memorex saw founder David Lush taking the stage on his own, surrounded by a floor full of synths. Adding bass and vocals while keeping synth sequences and drum machines from going off the rails contributed to the sense of tension and paranoia often evident in his songs — plus, it's always more entertaining when the audience gets the sense that things could veer out of control at any second.

Nite Comfort will be back at Handlebar on Sunday, December 2nd, celebrating an album release from deep sludge-drone explorers Northumbria (plus a set from Subterranea as well).
