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 Jethro Tull This Was (Millennium Vinyl Collection) Blues | EMI | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 30th April 2024 £20.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Jethro Tull This Was (Millennium Vinyl Collection) £20.00 Genre: Blues Label: EMI SKU: nn285860 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 30th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Bartees Strange Live Studio 4 Rock And Pop | Memory Music/ Run For Cover | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 22nd July 2022 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bartees Strange Live Studio 4 £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Memory Music/ Run For Cover SKU: MM22LPC2 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 22nd July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ana Silvera Oracles Rock And Pop | Gearbox | 180g, 1LP Released 3rd July 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ana Silvera Oracles £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Gearbox SKU: GB1548 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 3rd July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Echo & the Bunnymen Ocean Rain Rock And Pop | Rhino | 1LP Released 22nd October 2021 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Echo & the Bunnymen Ocean Rain £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0190295360863 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Craig David Born To Do It Rock And Pop | We Are Vinyl | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 2nd February 2018 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Craig David Born To Do It £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: We Are Vinyl SKU: 88985485911 Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 2nd February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kills, The Little Bastards Rock And Pop | Domino | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 11th December 2020 £23.00 - £25.00 Select options Kills, The Little Bastards £23.00 - £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Domino Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 11th December 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Pearlfishers, The Up With The Larks Rock And Pop | Marina | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 8th April 2022 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pearlfishers, The Up With The Larks £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Marina SKU: MA93 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 8th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View British Sea Power Open Season Rock And Pop | Rough Trade | 1LP Released 1st January 2007 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders British Sea Power Open Season £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rough Trade SKU: RTRADLP200 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st January 2007 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Woodstock Four Rock And Pop | Rhino | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th July 2019 £40.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Woodstock Four £40.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0081227911065 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sigur Ros Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust Rock And Pop | Krunk | 2LP Released 26th November 2021 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sigur Ros Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Krunk SKU: 0190296684661 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 26th November 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
