Fool’s Gold – Nadine (Memory Tapes Version)

Fools Gold   Nadine (Memory Tapes Version) listen

When two rising stars collide the result can be extraordinary. Memory Tapes, a band debuting their LP at the end of September, gives Fool’s Gold, a starting band from LA, a new vibe. Memory Tape twists Fool Gold’s song “Nadine” in enchanting and dancey ways. Fool’s Gold’s lyrics are kept simple and minimal, letting one get lost in frequently changing beat Memory Tapes.

The African influence behind Fool’s Gold is definitely present in Memory Tapes remix as it starts off upbeat with yearning vocals. Mid-way through vocals fade as blissful chimes change the tone till the last third of the song when a new melody with burst of electronic pitches overlap with vocals to create a enjoyable fluidity until the end.

Memory Tapes’ limited LP Seek Magic (its on vinyl too – kinda exiting) comes out at the end of September and Fool Gold’s self-titled debut is out September 29.

Under 50 w/ The Pains…, The Sounds, The Antlers, Dirty Projectors & Fools Gold

Under 50 w/ The Pains..., The Sounds, The Antlers, Dirty Projectors & Fools Gold listen

Just a note, the PMA Rating scale has been updated. Because it now extends to most tracks as well, you will be seeing big, bold, red ratings often and you should probably educate yourself and know what they mean. See the scale here. Thank you.

There is so much music out there and so little time to talk about it! So every time I feel there’s a build up of some songs I genuinely like that aren’t being represented here at PMA, I will do one of these bulk posts, limiting my comments on the song to 50 words. Think of this as an indescript playlist.

This time I’ll be focusing on songs by The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, The Sounds, The Antlers, Dirty Projectors, and Fools Gold Continue reading →
