Beschreibung

Lo-fi stoner pop janglers the Memories have a bevy of releases to their credit, apparently only hitting pause to swap tapes, change labels, or switch cities. Since forming as a side project of Portland thrash-punks White Fang in 2010, they've turned on the creative faucet, issuing an onslaught of tapes and LPs on prominent West Coast indie Burger Records as well as labels like Underwater Peoples, Lolipop, OSR, and their own Gnar Records. On Hot Afternoon, their fourth LP and third release of 2014, they actually do tighten up the slack a bit, working for the first time with an outside influence (Sonny Smith of Sonny & the Sunsets) on a set that includes tracks like "Dad's Not Home," "I'm So High," and "We Can Call It Whatever." The songs are fun and occasionally funny, with chord progressions nicked from the classic doo wop and '50s pop songbook. They show an obvious talent for sparkling melodies and languid but astute pop song construction even if their slacker style makes it comes across as pleasantly underachieving. ~ Timothy Monger
