MEMORIALS is the new band of Verity Susman (Electrelane’s frontwoman) and Matthew Simms (Wire, Better Corners, It Hugs Back, UUUU).
As a duo these multi-instrumentalists cover a lot of ground, juggling instruments in a set up resembling that of a 5-piece band. Their sound touches on the many points for which they are known, veering from melodic songwriting to psychedelic noise, free jazz freakouts, tape loops and drones, and then back again.
Their first album, a double LP entitled Music For Film: Tramps! & Women Against The Bomb comes out in May 2023.
