The first 7" vinyl release by Weyes Bluhd aka Weyes Blood aka Natalie Mering.
Playing all the instruments (including some contraptions of her own design), Weyes Bluhd conjures up two classics of eldritch pop on this fine biscuit. With a superbly home-made analogue feel (the master was sent on a cassette! yes, in this day and age), Natalie's skewed ballads drenched in feedback may remind us old folks of the Xpressway "sound" from way back. Vocally it's remniscent in its heartfelt solemnity of great 60s doom drawlers such as Nico and Grace Slick. A powerful new personality on the underground scene.
Memoirs formed in 2002 from the ashes of legendary tape label Betley Welcomes Careful Drivers. Since then, as well has releasing Ashtray Navigations recordings, Memoirs of an Aesthete has been a conduit for the weird, wonderful and obscure of the UK underground and beyond. Releasing records we think deserve to be heard, because if we didn't who else would?
