Foxes in Fiction - Lately (Memoryhouse cover)
Warren rarely fails at anything he produces. This lovely cover of Memoryhouse is no exception. I just bought one of twenty “re-presses” of his tape for Swung From the Branches and I’m so happy he’s putting out a few more so I could get it in my hands. His Orchid Tapes is moving it’s way into one of the foremost tape makers for some blog favorite artists. Be on the look out for his releases.
I haven’t really recorded anything new in a while because my recording interface is broken and has been giving me problems since like March. But, I thought I’d try to get around that by rewiring my whole set up and by using my reel-to reel, SO last night I threw together a cover of Lately, a song by a band that I’ve really grown to love recently.
The lyrics in this song always seemed incredibly sad to me and made me think of someone who is trapped in a hospital bed, having machines do everything for them while slipping in and out of consciousness and then eventually coming to the decision that they want to die instead of living an artificial life like that.
There were a few new recording techniques I’d been dying to try out which I think turned out alright. I ended up bouncing some of the guitar tracks to and from my tape machine about three time. No samples. Hope you like it.
I have another collection of recordings coming out soon on Orchid Tapes that is still untitled, but it’s gonna rawk ur sox when u hear it u guyz.

mathemagic - breaststroke (memoryhouse remix)
memoryhouse has been getting all sorts of pitchfork lovin’ recently, including today’s post of this spellbinding mathemagic remix. i’m a fan of their cloud nothings remix of “hey cool kid” and their take on grizzy bear’s “foreground,” but what i think is particularly interesting about this remix is that it provokes feelings of actual swimming—as if you’re getting physically immersed in the track. it is called “breaststroke” after all.
check out the mathemagic’s original track at their myspace when you’re done taking a dip.
