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 Abba Voulez-Vous Rock And Pop | Back To Black | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 5th August 2011 £26.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Abba Voulez-Vous £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Back To Black SKU: 2734652 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 5th August 2011 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View John Fogerty John Fogerty Rock And Pop | BMG | 180g, 1LP Released 25th August 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Fogerty John Fogerty £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG SKU: 4050538666014 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 25th August 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sweet Baboo Wild Imagination Rock And Pop | Moshi Moshi | 1LP Released 2nd June 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sweet Baboo Wild Imagination £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Moshi Moshi SKU: MOSHILP78 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Spandau Ballet Parade – Remastered Rock And Pop | Rhino | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 25th October 2019 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Spandau Ballet Parade – Remastered £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0190295416881 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 25th October 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Red House Painters Old Ramon Rock And Pop | Sub Pop | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 13th May 2016 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Red House Painters Old Ramon £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP565 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 13th May 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Golden Earring The Hole – Remastered Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 19th January 2024 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Golden Earring The Hole – Remastered £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP3550C Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 19th January 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pink Floyd Live At Knebworth 1990 Rock And Pop | Pink Floyd Records | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released 30th April 2021 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pink Floyd Live At Knebworth 1990 £36.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Pink Floyd Records SKU: 0190295258504 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 30th April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View X Ray Pop Ding Dong Dubs Rock And Pop | Finders Keepers | 1LP Released 11th November 2013 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders X Ray Pop Ding Dong Dubs £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Finders Keepers SKU: CACHE010B Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th November 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Good, The Bad & The Queen, The Merrie Land Rock And Pop | Studio 13 | 180g, 1LP Released 16th November 2018 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Good, The Bad & The Queen, The Merrie Land £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Studio 13 SKU: 0190296941603 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 16th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Valerie June Under Cover Rock And Pop | Concord | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th August 2022 £30.00 Select options Valerie June Under Cover £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Concord Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th August 2022 Read More Select options See more in Rock And Pop Start again
