about

Memory Drawings is the project of Minneapolis hammered dulcimer player Joel Hanson, Hood co-founder Richard Adams and former Lanterns on the Lake violinist Sarah Kemp. Their second album 'There Is No Perfect Place' (Hibernate Records) garnered plentiful critical praise and the band has gained a larger audience via repeated plays on Gideon Coe's show on BBC 6 Music.

This follow-up EP contains a radio edit of the standout track from 'There Is No Perfect Place', 'The Island of the Day Before' a shimmering, driving, dulcimer-led, kraut-influenced pop gem with sweeping strings
and the melodic instincts of early-80's New Order bubbling up towards the finale. The EP highlight, however, is the mysterious, previously-unreleased title track 'Captivated' with Yvonne Bruner's Liz Fraser-style vocals floating above an infectious, dulcimer-driven melody, the result is something akin to a collaboration between Dead Can Dance and Cocteau Twins.
