If naming a band after a well-worn epitaph seems dour, do not be
fooled: In Loving Memory are anything but. Rooted in the largely
unexplored nexus between spacious post-rock and melodic '80s new
wave, any of the band's dark overtones are ephemeral at most, giving
way to cascading, tuneful instrumentals that are the trio's hallmark.
Strikingly, the band's members guitarist/programmer Michael
Venezia, bassist Charles LaBarbara and drummer Robin Emmet are as
enigmatic as their music, loathe to emphasize too much of themselves.
It seems fitting for a group that spent two years sequestered in a
rehearsal room, away from the scenes and scenesters, honing their
distinctive strain of nuanced instrumental pop.
The result is an extraordinary study in contradictions: fluid low end
and timing nailed down with spikes. The druggy haze of stoner rock
and the levity of jangle pop. Taut arrangements and a vast palette of
sound. Electronic textures (courtesy of Venezia, who released techno
12" singles under the guise of 4th Level) flit in and out of the
songs, leaving only the slightest impression upon the listener in the
otherwise organic mix.
we are proud to announce, that our debut album “The Land Sleeps” is released as CD on CD-Baby and CDeal as well as Mp3 on diverse online stores with more online stores coming up soon. The linkz will be updated on our myspace regulary.
