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 Dino Saluzzi Kultrum CD Rock And Pop | 1LP Released 11th November 2008 £7.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dino Saluzzi Kultrum CD £7.00 Genre: Rock And Pop SKU: 1779927 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th November 2008 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Philippe Cohen Solal & Mike Lindsay Outsider Rock And Pop | Believe Recordings | 1LP Released 2nd April 2021 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Philippe Cohen Solal & Mike Lindsay Outsider £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Believe Recordings SKU: M7347 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View RVG Brain Worms Rock And Pop | Fire Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 22nd March 2024 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders RVG Brain Worms £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fire Records SKU: FIRELP683C Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 22nd March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gerry & The Pacemakers Best Of Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 6th April 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gerry & The Pacemakers Best Of £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2079 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 6th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Graham's picks View Product Quick View Nancy Sinatra Boots Rock And Pop | Light In The Attic | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 17th September 2021 £28.00 - £29.00 Select options Nancy Sinatra Boots £28.00 - £29.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Light In The Attic Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 17th September 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Kacey Musgraves Star-Crossed Americana / Country | Decca | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th September 2021 £24.00 Select options Kacey Musgraves Star-Crossed £24.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Decca Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th September 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Bressa Creeting Cake Bressa Creeting Cake Rock And Pop | Flying Nun Records | 2LP Released 14th July 2017 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bressa Creeting Cake Bressa Creeting Cake £29.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Flying Nun Records SKU: FN385LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 14th July 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Local Natives But I’ll Wait For You Rock And Pop | Loma Vista | 1LP Released 28th June 2024 £26.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Local Natives But I’ll Wait For You £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Loma Vista SKU: LVR4079 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th June 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cranes Fuse Rock And Pop | Dadaphonic | 1LP Released 5th April 2024 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cranes Fuse £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Dadaphonic SKU: DADA006LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Takida Falling from Fame Rock And Pop | BMG Rights Management | 1LP Released 27th August 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Takida Falling from Fame £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG Rights Management SKU: 4050538684155 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th August 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
