Menace Beach - Lemon Memory [Vinyl] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Menace Beach, Leeds, England, based Liza Violet and Ryan Needham, release their new album "Lemon Memory" on 20 Jan 2017 on Memphis Industries. . "Lemon Memory" is, for Menace Beach at least, an exercise in restraint, the fuzz and distortion turned down, big last choruses avoided. Liza explains, “The one ‘rule’ thing we went into the album session with was to keep in mind that sometimes doing The Opposite is much more interesting”. Liza takes the lead vocal as she does on much of ‘Lemon Memory’. Indeed, if debut LP Ratworld was Ryan’s record, “Lemon Memory” is very much a Liza record. Ryan explains “Liza got that look in the eye and a head-down-blinkers-on thing, and only a moron would try and get in the way of that. It’s all about keeping those ideas in their purest form and diluting as little as possible.” Written in Ibiza and recorded in Sheffield with Ross Orton (MIA, Arctic Monkeys, The Fall) “Lemon Memory” is in part an effort to lift a citrus based curse – trust us, it’s a real thing - Ryan and Liza believe was placed on their house, via the hexbreaking power of music. It’s also the sound of a band finding their own identity, edging closer to some sort of grimy truth.
