Memoryhouse
With unfeigned lyrics and stunning instrumentation, this Canadian duo can easily be compared to other dreamy acts like Beach House. Memoryhouse released The Years EP this week as a free download and they have a 7-song cassette coming out this Spring on Arcade Sound Ltd, so be on the lookout for that one as well!
