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 Nearly New View Product Quick View Neal Schon Late Nite Rock And Pop | Columbia | 1LP Released 25th April 2024 £12.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Neal Schon Late Nite £12.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Columbia SKU: nn285618 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Friendly Fires Infloresent Rock And Pop | Polydor | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 16th August 2019 £20.00 - £22.00 Select options Friendly Fires Infloresent £20.00 - £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polydor Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 16th August 2019 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Blind Faith Blind Faith Rock And Pop | Back To Black | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 2nd September 2008 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Blind Faith Blind Faith £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Back To Black SKU: E1775316 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 2nd September 2008 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pearl Jam Dark Matter Rock And Pop | EMI | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 19th April 2024 £35.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pearl Jam Dark Matter £35.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: EMI SKU: 5897116 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 19th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Zola Jesus (W/ Jg Thirlwell & Mivos Quartet) Versions Rock And Pop | Sacred Bones Records | 1LP Released 19th August 2013 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Zola Jesus (W/ Jg Thirlwell & Mivos Quartet) Versions £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sacred Bones Records SKU: SBR102LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th August 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Prince And The Revolution Purple Rain – 12 Rock And Pop | Rhino | 12", Single Released 23rd June 2017 £12.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Prince And The Revolution Purple Rain – 12 £12.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0054391962300 Formats: 12", Single Released Date: 23rd June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joni Mitchell For The Roses (SACD) Rock And Pop | Mobile Fidelity | SACD Release Date TBC £46.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Joni Mitchell For The Roses (SACD) £46.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: CMFSA2271 Formats: SACD Released Date: Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Steve Hackett Genesis Revisited: Live at The Royal Albert Hall – Remaster 2020 Progressive | Inside Out | 3LP Released 12th June 2020 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Steve Hackett Genesis Revisited: Live at The Royal Albert Hall – Remaster 2020 £29.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Inside Out SKU: 19439756751 Formats: 3LP Released Date: 12th June 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Devin Townsend Project Dark Matters Rock And Pop | Inside Out | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes CD Released 11th September 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Devin Townsend Project Dark Matters £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Inside Out SKU: 507241 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes CD Released Date: 11th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Coldplay Prospekt’s March EP Rock And Pop | Parlophone | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 16th June 2023 £22.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Coldplay Prospekt’s March EP £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Parlophone SKU: 5054197525247 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 16th June 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket See more in Rock And Pop Start again
