Memorial – “Corduroy”
Released January 26, “Corduroy” is the latest single from Jack and Ollie – the two halves of indie folk duo Memorial. A long distance affair in England, they’ve put out a steady stream of music since 2021 with the last being 2022’s self-titled album. “Corduroy” is a light track but chock full of sound; I heard piano, a brief string melody with a steady drum beat and strumming acoustic guitar. The lyrics are tinged with malaise and it hit me in the right spot, and I think it will with you too!
Fans of Big Thief and their ilk, as well as Elliott Smith (rip) would find a lot to enjoy here. While numbers aren’t everything, nearly 100k monthly listeners is certainly nothing to sneeze at. Be sure to check out “Corduroy” wherever you find your music, but here’s the Spotify and Apple Music links for good measure.
