Memorial is an alt-folk duo who are releasing their beautiful new single ‘Circle’ on February 27th. This release will be a preview of their latest album Redsetter.
‘Circle’ is a soft, acoustic sounding track with guitar that is genuinely pretty off the bat. Creating a lovely sound with the addition of vocals, this song is incredibly calming, I guarantee you’ll want to fall asleep to it, in the best way. The duo element is not lost throughout the song, each element works incredibly well together. The song holds some stunning, somewhat bittersweet lyrics and although they aren’t the main focus of this track, they create an almost poetic tone to ‘Circle’.
“Circle was formed from a tragic series of events that happened to a family friend. They lost their partner and two dogs all in the space of a week. After hearing the news, this song seemed to ache its way out of our subconscious.”
“Despite the pain we feel in bereavement, believing in the cyclical nature of energy provides a comfort that words often can’t. This song is centered around that feeling, being in a state of learning from a presence that’s not physically there and being able to keep the memory of someone with you to the point where it almost feels tangible without losing your sense of reality.”
