Fifteen years into their career, it makes sense that The Memories<\/a> are developing a more mature sound\u2014the 20 new tunes on their Late<\/em><\/a> LP are still straightforward and unpretentious, but a bit more polished and solid. The lyrics are as slacker as ever though\u2014look at song titles like Like A Cigarette<\/em>, She Smokes Meth<\/em>, Don\u2019t Puke In The Car<\/em>, I Saw Jesus At The 7-11<\/em>, I Don\u2019t Want To Feel Like Shit<\/em>, and so on\u2014and you\u2019ll get the idea, but it works like a charm.<\/p>\n

From their shared practice space, Rikky Gage (vocals, drums, guitar, keys, tambourine, guiro), Izak Arida (bass, guitar, keys, drums) and Nakisso Peralta (guitar) reflect in an intimate way on dark after hours, blending nostalgia, melancholy, and camaraderie into personal lyrics that balance between sadness and silliness. Set to lo-fi garage pop with jangly guitars, uplifting hooks and a laid-back vibe, this is an eccentric but warm-hearted love letter to long nights.<\/p>\n
