MEMORIAL

Memorial is a project rooted in friendship, one fueled by unflinching honesty. Oliver Spalding and Jack Watts were friends first, and songwriting partners second, and this quality sets them apart. They’re marked by that peculiar alchemy when two voices become one, a special sense of human connection wrought through harmony and emboldened with experience. New album ‘Redsetter’ is their coming-of-age moment–gilded indie-folk with an optimistic sense of maturity, it dares to look towards the light. 

 Their new LP takes them from their base in Brighton to a remote part of Texas (and back again); it’s a record that’s driven by a special kind of determination, dealing with intimate bonds, familial connections, and a quiet sense of renewal.
