Murmure - Les mémoires dissociatives (2021)

I remember the Canadian Murmure as extremely airy dream pop, very much Slowdive-style. However, the new release, an EP called Les mémoires dissociatives, added to this a lot of heavy-sounding guitars  enriching the sound and make it even more shoegaze-like.

This short album is clearly inspired by the best shoegaze artists from the past. There's the airiness and ethereal vibes of Rachel Mayer's vocals and a lot of catchy melodies with loud and noisy guitars on top. Those are fantastic - in Au bord de l'abysse the guitar passages seem to have unlimited flow and ability to engage the audience on such a good level. No wonder the track is called "On the edge of the abyss" - it feels like just a step further, one would end up in a really noisy madness of sounds. The Ep is collection of potential shoegaze hits with Post-traumatique being one of the best tracks to combine the genre's holy trinity: the melody, the loudness and the ethereality.

Les mémoires dissociatives costs 3 EUR (4 CAD).
