Memorial, an alternative folk band formed by Jack Watts and Oliver Spalding based in Brighton and Manchester, England, has released a performance video of their new single ‘Circle’ released on February 27th from Real Kind Records!
Produced by Avocado Baby.
A song from the new album “Redsetter” released on May 10th. As expected of a word.
“Circle was formed from a tragic series of events that happened to a family friend. They lost their partner and two dogs all in the space of a week. After hearing the news, this song seemed to ache its way out of our subconscious. Despite the pain we feel in bereavement, believing in the cyclical nature of energy provides a comfort that words often can’t. This song is centred around that feeling, being in a state of learning from a presence that’s not physically there and being able to keep the memory of someone with you to the point where it almost feels tangible without losing your sense of reality.”
