Whether Simon & Garfunkel or Pet Shop Boys, Steely Dan or Soft Cell, an alchemical magic occurs when two simpatico minds go in pursuit of a singular result. Torquil Campbell and Chris Dumont have been making music together since the late 1990s, quite some time before the former achieved worldwide success as singer in Canadian quintet Stars. He and Dumont both used to live in New York City, where the burgeoning fantasy of their very own band provided mental escape from a day-to-day existence of borderline poverty in one of the planet\’s most unforgiving cities. Campbell soon returned to his native Canada to pursue his future with Stars, while Dumont remained in Manhattan, working first as a carousel operator in Central Park, then as an actor in a prestigious opera house. But the friendship persevered, and the trials and changes Campbell and Dumont experienced have been channeled into an album that is a beautiful, bittersweet document of lives in flux, and time having its way with our assumptions of permanence. It\’s called Here Comes A City, and while the title is undoubtedly a nod the song by Australian pop gods The Go-Betweens, it\’s also an acknowledgment of the nomadic nature in which the album was made. While melodic beauty and unashamed lyrical romanticism remain the core components of Memphis\’ music, Here Comes A City, like its title, is often darker and denser, possibly troubled and distracted in places. From the declamatory anthem \”Apocalypse Pop Song\” to the tense, ambiguous \”I Am The Photographer\” and the hushed declaration of to-the-grave love that is \”M+E=Me\”, the album sounds like an acknowledgment (and, ultimately, an acceptance) of the things that are beyond our control, and how familiar things provide a cushion against uncertainty. \”Memphis is a very personal reflection of my life and my long friendship with Torq\” says Dumont. \”It\’s infused with bits and pieces of my day-to-day life and experiences. Age inspired it, I reckon\” Campbell glibly interjects. \”Age and, you know, the usual Memphis influence: drugs.\” * Memphis features Stars\’ co-songwriter, Torquil Campbell * For Fans of Stars, Broken Social Scene, Belle & Sebastian Artist Memphis Genre Rock And Pop Label Arts & Crafts Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country CAN Track Listings 01 Here Comes A City 02 Apocalypse Pop Song 03 I Want The Lights On After Dark 04 5 Loops 05 What Is This Thing Called? 06 I Am The Photographer 07 Reservoir 08 Wait! 09 Way Past Caring 10 M+E=Me Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Kele 2042 Rock And Pop | KOLA Records/!K7 Records | 2LP Released 8th November 2019 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kele 2042 £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: KOLA Records/!K7 Records SKU: KOLA1LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 8th November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alvin Lee & Ten Years Later Ride On Rock And Pop | Repertoire | 1LP Released 11th April 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alvin Lee & Ten Years Later Ride On £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Repertoire SKU: V168 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dream Syndicate, The Ultraviolet Battle Hymns and True Confessions Rock And Pop | Fire Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th June 2022 £20.00 - £21.00 Select options Dream Syndicate, The Ultraviolet Battle Hymns and True Confessions £20.00 - £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fire Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th June 2022 Read More Select options Nearly New View Product Quick View Various The Warner Bros.
